The Centre reopens on Monday, 5 January, and all of our regular services will be available, including Oxygen, Physiotherapy, the Café, and of course, support from our full team. We are very much looking forward to getting back to “normal” after the busy period of celebrations and time away.

There is significant interest in English footballer Alessia Russo (forward for Arsenal and the Lionesses) and her use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as part of her elite recovery routine.

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.

Please see the information below that we have been sent by the team at Birmingham Community Healthcare. Please help if you can.

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.

We have an active Carers Group here at The Brightwell. Any carer who looks after any of our members is most welcome. You can be a paid or unpaid carer, a partner, family member or a friend, to take part in our events. Our next talk is called “Practical Hints and Tips for Carers”
