The Greenway Centre, a community-led charity located in Southmead, one of England's most deprived areas, stands as a testament to the power of community action. This vibrant hub offers a diverse array of services and activities designed to support the well-being and independence of older adults. From one-to-one support to engaging group activities, the Centre strives to keep older residents active, connected, and fulfilled.
The bustling café, a meeting point for locals and visitors alike, embodies the Centre's role as a vibrant community heart. The extensive range of programs offered at the Centre is made possible through the generous support of charitable donations.
The Anchor Society, in collaboration with BOPFA (Bristol Old People Funders Alliance), have committed to a three-year grant program, ensuring the Greenway Centre can continue its invaluable work in combating isolation and fostering meaningful connections among older residents.
A recent visit to the Centre left the Anchor team deeply impressed by the dedication and impact of its staff and volunteers. Charlie Ferdinando, Head of Wellbeing & Communities, shared his vision for the future: "I truly believe that as we work in a holistic and integrated way, we’ll continue to see great outcomes for residents."
The Greenway Centre's success story underscores the importance of partnerships in extending our reach and making a real difference in the lives of older people. By working together, we can build stronger, more supportive communities where everyone can thrive.
