Welcome to Brilliant Bamboo
A people and planet-friendly project for Stoke and Staffordshire.
Hello! We’re an organisation creating projects for people and planet using bamboo and other materials to create and imagine greener futures in Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire and the planet.
We are a Community Interest Company with a mission to marry the arts, communities and professionals from across the sectors in exploration and collaboration around growing, building, and creating from bamboo.
We’re here to develop environmentally positive projects that explore sustainable materials for people and the planet. We’re developing our organisation and projects all the time and we’ll be looking for you to be involved by coming along, taking part, volunteering, becoming a partner or collaborator, or as a funder.
You’re invited to have a look around to find out more about us and why bamboo, join our mailing list, follow us on socials, or contact us to be involved.
