Working with locals to provide support and make our community thrive.
At NSDT we have a vision to positively impact and unleash the potential of North Smethwick by promoting social inclusion and community wellbeing.
How our important work is making a difference to our community.
North Smethwick Development Trust (NSDT) at the Brasshouse Community Centre welcomes you to our website which will give you some idea of who we are and what we do.
NSDT is a voluntary organisation and registered charity managed by local people for local people. Originally set up in 1988 to provide housing regeneration in North Smethwick, our focus now includes economic and social regeneration where we aim to make a real and positive contribution to the lives of people in North Smethwick.
At the Centre, we offer a range of activities, often in partnership with other voluntary groups and agencies for local people of all ages living in the neighbourhood of North Smethwick. Rooted in the community, we encourage people to play an active role in the development of local services.
If you haven’t been to the centre before, please do come and visit us. Our usual office opening hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. We also open in the evenings and at weekends for community events and classes. Check out our What’s On page for more information.
