Community Groups
A community group, sometimes also referred to as a community organisation or a grassroots organisation, is a voluntary association of individuals who come together based on shared interests, goals, or concerns within a specific geographical area or community. These groups are typically formed by residents of a community who want to address a particular need, issue, or interest that affects them or their surroundings.
Community groups can vary widely in their focus and activities, ranging from social clubs and recreational organisations to advocacy groups and charitable initiatives.
Here we list Community Groups in Bude who work towards improving the quality of life in our community, fostering social connections, and addressing local problems or challenges.
