Who We Are & What We Do
Who we are:
Moseley in Bloom are a group of volunteers helping to regenerate Moseley by ensuring it is a safe and pleasant place for all by working on permanent planting projects, floral displays and making Moseley a greener community.
Moseley in Bloom consists of a committee group which look into the deeper issues within Moseley and look at how these should be addressed. There are then the volunteers that help the committee by volunteering to work in their spare time on the various projects either regularly through specific sub group projects or on an ad-hoc basis with larger projects. The voluntary work isn’t necessarily labour intensive – there is plenty to do behind the scenes such as project co-ordination, publicity and liaising with local organisations and institutions.
