We are very pleased to announce that following a bid to Sport England as part of their Community Asset Fund, we have successfully been awarded £60,000.

The funding will go towards the costs of refurbishing the astro pitch, which will take place in the summer.

The current pitch is approaching 15 years old and currently hosts a wide variety of community sports teams including hockey, football, rugby, and baseball, as well as all the children of Wellsway School. The astro is also used to host primary school festivals throughout the year as part of the School Sport Partnership.

Laura Gaiger, Community and Business Development Manager, said 'We are so pleased with the outcome of the funding bid. The astro is heavily used all day everyday by so many members of the local community; we are really pleased that we will be able to keep on providing a fantastic facility to so many. A huge thank you to Sport England for supporting this project.'

A big thank you also to Keynsham Hockey Club for their support with the funding bid, we look forward to working closely with them for years to come.

We are very pleased to partner with I Heart Local - Keynsham and Saltford, to help promote our local community.

I Heart Local - Keynsham and Saltford, is the brainchild of local lady Theresa Saadeh, who has lived in Keynsham for many years and now has a family of her own here. Upon exploring all the fun things Keynsham and Saltford have to offer, she set about creating an incentive scheme to make people aware of all the activities and businesses based in the local area.

Purchasing an I Heart Local card for a yearly fee of just £20 gives you discount at a range of businesses around Keynsham and Saltford, Wellsway Sports Centre being one of them. Other services you can access discount from include cleaning, beauty therapy, music lessons, children's birthday parties, hair salons and much more. For just £1.66 a month, you could save money whilst actively supporting your local community.

Wellsway Sports Centre has a range of fantastic facilities available for hire to the public and currently 2 of our spaces have times available.

Treatment room - our treatment room with vinyl flooring, sink, lockable storage and treatment bed would be perfect for those looking to practice disciplines such as sports massage or sports therapy. Available every evening and at weekends, this space is ideal for students or those looking to start a new business.

Dance studio - the dance studio is the only studio in Keynsham with a bar and is therefore great for dance or performance groups. The studio has floor length mirrors, air conditioning, and a sound system. We currently have availability after midday on both Saturday's and Sunday's.

Conference rooms - we have 2 conference rooms within the sports centre, one that can seat 20, the other can comfortably seat 12. Both rooms have large display screens with laptop connectivity, white boards, and we can provide additional resources such as a flip chart. Both rooms are great for course delivery.
