We provide space to grow your social impact

We’re really proud to be one of the earliest barrier-free workspaces set up in the UK.

Step through our doors and you’ll immediately feel the buzz of activity and warmth of community. From impromptu corridor conversations that spark new partnerships to shared lunches in our communal spaces, our 25 resident organisations (mostly charities) create something special here. You’ll always find a friendly face, an interesting event, or a moment of connection – that’s what makes the Vassall Centre more than just a building.

Bristol Charities became our new stewards in May 2021, they brought fresh energy to our community. Now you’ll find everything from wellbeing workshops to community celebrations happening alongside the daily work of our resident organisations.

Some recent reviews:

The Vassall Centre was a lovely place to have an appointment. It has such a community and caring vibe. Everything was very clean and well cared for. The café is run by some very lovely staff and has some exceedingly yummy cakes.

So, so very good. It has a little café with a few nice little nibbles, well the portion sizes are really good for the price. Preparation is most if not all done on site. And the café staff are so friendly and chatty. Bathroom/toilet facilities are very well maintained. Vassal Centre staff are wonderfully friendly, polite and have great knowledge on most subjects you may need help with.

Excellent community facility providing a range of events and activities along with meeting facilities. Small coffee shop on site. Fully accessible. Highly recommended.

As ever, we found the Centre helpful and hospitable. The instructions and kit for the projector were clear and easy to use, and the speakers helpful to have on hand for playing videos.

Visited here for the first time in years. There is plenty of on-site parking and a nice new reception area, I was visiting the Centre for Deaf and their great new Art Group and received a terrific welcome. There was a really nice feeling to the place, looking forward to visiting again in the New Year.
