Wonderful Members’40-Year Celebration

As everyone is no doubt aware, we are proudly celebrating four decades of supporting those living with MS and other neurological conditions.

Last Thursday, 19 June, we celebrated with Members, Staff and Volunteers both past and present, here at the Centre.

The weather was perfect and the Centre and Garden looked fabulous. There were some lovely displays, showing photos from the past, including some excellent ones of the old Nailsea Centre and the Brightwell Centre’s official opening presided over by HRH Princess Ann.

We had a delicious buffet and a special Brightwell birthday cake to help us celebrate the occasion.

Doro, supported by Keith Taylor, one of the founder members, gave a speech on the importance of the Brightwell’s people; Members, Carers, Volunteers, Trustees, Therapists,  Staff and Supporters all are valued and appreciated and all have left their mark on the Centre is some way.  After Keith blew out the candles, everyone sang “Happy Birthday” to The Brightwell.

It was a really lovely afternoon, with lots of chatter and laughter. It was great to see so many faces from the past who all contributed to making the fantastic Brightwell Community we have today.

Thank you to everyone who made this such a memorable afternoon!
