About us

We are Southmead Development Trust, a charity made up of staff, volunteers and residents who work together to achieve our vision of a thriving community. We improve health, wellbeing, local pride, and employment. We bring business and investment to the area.

Our three sites – Greenway Centre, Southmead Youth Centre and Southmead Adventure Playground, are much-loved local venues that provide inspiring spaces for events, meetings, training and business.  We run or host an exciting programme of events which range from conferences and sporting events, to creative writing, dancing and pantomimes.  Our customers join a fun, welcoming community and enjoy our large café and newly refurbished gym.

This year has seen our profile grow and our role in the community become even more essential.  We’ve coordinated a massive local response to the Pandemic and become a vaccine hub.  Now we need to rebuild activities and events across our sites to bring in new customers.  This important role will help us to make even more difference.
