We're inviting trailblazers, changemakers and activists to offer hope, encouragement and inspiration for all who join us at Content Rising in June 2025.
Planting hopeful seeds at the Millennium Seed Bank at Kew Wakehurst, we'll hear from some of the planet's most inspiring content creators at a storytelling festival of shared experience and new ideas. Let's see what we can grow together.

Wakehurst is Kew’s wild botanic garden in the Sussex High Weald. Its ancient and beautiful landscapes span 535 acres and are a place for escape, exploration, tranquillity, and wonder. Its diverse collection of plants from Britain and around the globe thrive within a tapestry of innovative gardens, temperate woodlands, meadows, and wetlands. Wakehurst is a centre for UK biodiversity and global conservation, seed research and ecosystem science. At its heart is Kew’s Millennium Seed Bank, the world’s largest store of seeds from wild plant species.
The National Trust bequeathed the Mansion and grounds of Wakehurst in 1963. It was then entrusted to us here at Kew in 1965, and we now work in partnership with the National Trust to care for our collections and heritage areas.

Metrobus connects communities, by providing access to work, education and healthcare. Social connections, made possible by bus, are vital in bringing people together and help combat isolation and loneliness. As well as connecting communities it's really important to also do what we can to provide help and support within the communities we are proud to serve.
One of the ways we are able to help and support is via the Community Support Fund. Twice a year we donate small pots of money and free bus travel to local charities and community groups.
Funding is available from £50 to £500 with similar amounts for bus travel.
