About us

BRILLIANT BAMBOO is an organisation in North Staffordshire exploring the potential of UK-grown bamboo for people and the planet.

Who are we

We’re a community interest company with a mission to marry the arts, communities of North Staffs and professionals from across all sectors in the exploration and collaborative adventures around growing, building and creating from bamboo.

The organisation has grown out of a project which brought together artists, academics, architects, engineers and communities to grow, build and consider what next for bamboo here, connected to an international community. This project is Imagine Bamboo led by independent Creative Director: Orit Azaz and Imagineer with Appetite and Arts Keele and many more in North Staffordshire from 2020-2023. For more, see Brilliant Bamboo Story So Far.

Brilliant Bamboo, formed in Aug 2023, is a not-for-profit and social enterprise that develops projects with a range of partners and communities: making a positive contribution to the lives of communities and the planet.

Our ambition is to create a bamboo park and community space for the area

Through our activities, we will:

• create space for community, arts, science, nature, and physical activities through play at the site(s) for all generations.
• create new ambitious structures with engineers, artists, and our community.
• contribute to the improvement of lives and the area.
• develop environmentally positive projects that remediate land and remove carbon.

We’re growing the organisation and projects and we’d love your support or to collaborate — get in touch.

Our work to date would not be possible without our partners and funders, thank you.
