The market wants to help local social enterprises

The market was set up to promote the sale of local food and crafts and now attracts a regular footfall.

In doing so, it has also become a social meeting place for people to find out more about local groups and events.

Therefore, we would like to support the work of other community groups or organisations in Long Ashton.

This could be any group or project which is trying to develop and support the social, environmental, cultural or health of our local community.

The market is able to offer:

• Financial support by providing small grants to groups
• Help in publicising events to widen participation
• Help in promoting the work of a group to help it recruit new members

With recent changes to the North Somerset Council trading laws, we now charge a nominal entrance fee to the market. All monies received are then donated directly to a local community group or charity.  If your organisation wishes to apply to receive the donations please complete the application form and forward it to the market email address where we will get back to you.

Since the Village Market began we have worked with the Long Ashton Children’s Centre, the local Chicken Co-op, Avon Wildlife Trust, the local youth club and Transition Long Ashton, among others.

If you are interested in finding out more about how Long Ashton Village Market can help support the work of your group or organisation please contact us.
