On 1 February 2020 Barton Hill Settlement and Wellspring Healthy Living Centre merged to become Wellspring Settlement. Our vision is to bring together all the strengths and skills of the two organisations to provide more for our local communities.
Wellspring Settlement enables our community to actively participate in positive, life-affirming activities. 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 of their lives are all welcome.
Coronavirus: updates and information
Wellspring Settlement, formerly the Wellspring and Barton Hill Settlement, are offering a range of fantastic local and free services for those in need as a result of COVID19. These include:
- Distribution of food parcels and cooked meals
- Prescription collections and dog walking
- Family services, including access to the garden facility for families with no outdoor space, parenting support over the phone and the distribution of nappies, wipes and formula
- A telephone befriending support service
- Shopping for the most vulnerable residents
To access this support call
Our call centre is open 10am – 3pm from Monday to Thursday and 10am – 1pm on Fridays.

These vital services are being delivered with the support of an amazing group of volunteers. If you would like to support this work please contact the telephone number above to find out how you can help. We’d love to hear from you!
parenting support
Wellspring Settlement delivers a parenting programme called Strengthening Families Strengthening Communities and during this difficult lockdown period we are aware that parenting is unusually hard so we have put together some helpful information. You can access that information here.
Community Action Support
In addition to the crisis services we are providing, we are also keen to do what we can to support community action and local responses. Currently we are supporting local networks, working to develop digital skill sharing forums and adapting our community organising and other training to be more accessible over Zoom.
If you would like to have a chat about our support for local community work, share ideas for how we can better support community action in the area or have any general queries or questions please contact Alex North on either alexn@bartonhillsettlement.org.uk or 07928 813790.
