Gordon Road Area Street Scheme (GRASS) Cliftonville started in 2003 as a community volunteer group to improve quality of life for local residents and encourage children, young people, families, and elders to actively participate in society and influence the issues and decisions that affect their lives. They create inclusive spaces for residents to access cultural, recreational, and educational experiences like book exchanges, art exhibitions, community gardens, wellbeing classes, and other activities. GRASS Cliftonville assumed responsibility for The Oval Bandstand and Lawns through a community asset transfer and hires the venue for festivals, live entertainment, and other community events. Their nature recovery plan includes wildflower meadows, wildlife corridors, hedgerow planting, and the establishment of tiny forests and a wellness garden. GRASS Cliftonville is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC) and reinvests all surplus towards their mission.
