We couldn’t have put this better ourselves!

Thank you Property Bee for all your support over the years.

Mytchett needs places like this. ❤️

We’ve worked with The Mytchett Community Centre for years, helping with Fun Days, firework nights, advertising and even replacing the big sign out the front. But this isn’t an “aren’t we great” post.

With all the recent conversation about the future of the café at the Canal Centre, it got me thinking about the places we just assume will always be here.

The Mytchett Centre is one of them.

Football pitches, preschool, kids’ groups, classes, a play area, nature pond, car boots, bingo, karaoke, fireworks, community events and yes, a bar with very reasonably priced pints. 🍺

That’s a lot of community packed into one place.

Looking through these photos made me realise how many memories people must have from here too. So Mytchett people, show us yours. 📸 Firework nights, Fun Days, parties, football, the fair, a pint in the bar, the kids playing... stick your favourites in the comments. Here are just a few of mine.

But places like this need support to keep going.

The Centre recently posted after some dog-proofing was damaged, and quite a few comments suggested more cameras. Fair point, but cameras cost money. Repairs cost money. A new heating system costs money.

It’s easy to forget community organisations don’t have an endless pot whenever something goes wrong.

So perhaps the question isn’t only “why don’t they add more cameras?” Maybe it’s also “how can we help them get them?”

Donate. Fundraise. Become a member. Go to an event. Book a room. Have a pint. Share their fundraiser. Or at the very least, follow them and share their events.

Because community spaces only stay part of the community if we support them.

And selfishly, I’d rather be taking this photo again in ten or twenty years than wondering what happened to another local place we assumed would always be there.

Surely we don’t want every bit of community land becoming another row of houses...

And yes, I’m fully aware of the irony of an estate agent saying that. 😅

The Centre does a lot for Mytchett. Maybe it’s our turn to do a little bit for them. ❤️

Our community hub needs a heart transplant!

We are raising vital funds for The Mytchett Community Association New Heating Fund. On the 20th November we are holding our hottest fudraiser yet - a charity Fire Walk!


Firewalking is the practice of walking barefoot on hot embers. It is designed to help transform fear and to inspire people to do things they didn't think possible, it can show that there is more to 'reality' than you think, that many limitations we experience in life are self-imposed. But this is so much more than just a Firewalk! By stepping onto the burning embers, you are directly helping us raise vital funds for our New Heating Appeal ensuring our community hub stays warm, safe, and active for all the clubs, groups, and families who rely on us.

Registration costs £15, and we ask you to commit to raising a mimimum of £100 for the charity.

If you don't want to participate yourself, are you able to share this post with family, friends work colleagues?

Can you display a poster in your place of work?

Does you employer have a charity giving scheme?

Can you come and cheer our brave Fire Walkers on on the night? Food and drinks will be available.

Are you a fire eater or in a band who would donate their time to provide some entertainment on the night?

Please let us know if you can help in any way.

More information and details of how to register can be found here. https://www.themytchettcentre.co.uk/mytchett-firewalk-2026

So we’ve had the first physical response to our appeal to keep dogs off the football pitch - the ropes have been cut into small pieces and the signs removed!

The bottom line is if we are unable to hire out the grounds we will not be able to justify keeping them. We know the council have considered the land for both housing and a traveller site. Please help us keep the community centre for the community by keeping dogs off the pitch and letting the Centre staff know if you see people allowing dogs on the pitch or not cleaning up after their dogs.

🚨 URGENT MESSAGE TO DOG OWNERS: PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR PETS! 🚨

We love seeing people use the outdoor spaces at the Mytchett Community Centre, but the state of the field and the football pitch right now is completely unacceptable and frankly disgusting.
The grass is currently covered in dog mess. The field and football pitches are used by local teams and children who have to run, dive, and play in this area. It is not only vile, but it is also a serious health risk.

If you bring your dog onto the grounds, you are 100% responsible for cleaning up after them. No excuses.

🐾 Bag it, bin it, and take it home if the bins are full. 🐾

We ask that all dogs are kept on a lead whilst on the grounds, and are not permitted on the football pitch at all. We are putting signs up to this effect.

There is a poo bin at the Coleford Bridge Road entrance.

Unless the situation improves, we will have no choice but to look into stricter measures or restricting dogs from the area entirely. Please respect our community, protect the kids who play here, and do your job as a responsible owner.
Thank you to the many owners who already do the right thing. To the minority ruining it for everyone else: please stop.
