On Monday 19 May 2025, residents of St Pauls and the wider Bristol community are warmly invited to the Green and Healthy Futures Fair, taking place from 1pm to 8pm at St Pauls Learning Centre, 94 Grosvenor Road, BS2 8XJ.
Organised in collaboration by UWE Bristol’s Inspire Sustainability Team and Bridging Histories, this free event is rooted in community partnership and the shared goal of building fairer, greener futures. It brings together local organisations, employers, and educators to inform about practical support, training, and career opportunities — all in an open, inclusive setting.
A Fair for All
The Green and Healthy Futures Fair is for anyone thinking about their next steps – whether you’ve been out of work for some time, are exploring new possibilities, or simply want to find out what’s happening locally. The event is open to all ages and stages, and aims to create a welcoming space to ask questions, build confidence, and connect with others.
Throughout the day, attendees will be able to:
- Explore stalls offering job opportunities, apprenticeships, and free courses
- Receive advice on accessing support services, training, and further education
- Enjoy warm food provided by Glen’s Kitchen from 3.30pm
- Access free tech support from FixMyTek (bring your device for a check-up)
