If there is one thing we’ve learned at The Brightwell, it’s that our community loves a challenge—especially when it involves trivia, music rounds, and a bit of healthy competition. Our "Fantastic Quiz Nights" have become a staple of our calendar, and for good reason! They are more than just a test of knowledge; they are a celebration of the incredible support system that keeps our Centre running.

We are delighted to have appointed two new part-time physiotherapists. Nathi will be working on Mondays and Wednesdays, and Khoula on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
