Hi, I’m Helen and I’ve worked at The Brightwell since 2024. I support Doro with a variety of admin activities and look after Policies, Processes, Health & Safety, and Facilities at the Centre, as well as onboarding volunteers, health practitioners and organising and hosting corporate volunteering groups. I work with all the departments at the Centre in one way or another – no two days are alike!

Fancy an evening of trivia, teamwork, and a bit of friendly competition? Join us on Wednesday 21st October for our next Quiz Night, one of our regular fundraising events at The Brightwell.

On Sunday, three incredible supporters, Paula, Adrian and Eve, took on the Great North Run in support of The Brightwell and what an achievement it was!

We welcomed a lovely group of Corporate Volunteers on 7 September from Zurich Insurance Group, with volunteers travelling from all over the southwest to come to The Brightwell.

We're delighted to invite you to our next charity Bingo night, raising vital funds for the centre. Whether you're a Bingo regular or a first-timer, this is a relaxed, sociable evening where every ticket sold makes a real difference.

Our Autumn Raffle is now open, and there are some brilliant prizes to be won this year. Strips are just £2 each, so it's an easy way to support us while treating yourself to something special. Thanks to our sponsor, MBS Land and New Homes, for supporting the raffle this year.

In just one week, Paula, Adrian and Eve will take on the Great North Run in support of The Brightwell.

Safeguarding vulnerable adults is a fundamental responsibility across healthcare, social care, and community charities. At its core, adult safeguarding is about protecting a person’s right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.

We were delighted to welcome a lovely group of Corporate Volunteers on 26 August from BT Group, organised by one of their colleagues Tracy, who is also a member of The Brightwell.
