2025 has been an incredible and memorable year for The Brightwell! This year we proudly celebrated our 40th anniversary. It is amazing to think how far we have come since the original Centre opened in Nailsea in 1985, and how much we have grown since moving to Bradbury House in Bradley Stoke in 2012.

It has been the first full calendar year of our new Brightwell Café being up and running and it’s been a busy one

We will be holding an Open Event on Monday, 26 January, from 2–3 pm, for anyone interested in learning more about our work and volunteer opportunities.

We are delighted to share The Brightwell’s strategic plan for the next five years. This document reflects months of dedicated work by our Leadership Team and the Board of Trustees.
