There is so much you can do at Wellspring Settlement!

Better together
We’ve brought together to best of two long standing community organisations to strengthen how we serve our local community.

We offer a unique space for residents of Barton Hill and the wider area to celebrate, learn, create, develop, relax, socialise and play. From young people to the more mature, from new residents of our locality to those who have lived here all their lives, everyone is welcome.
