A self-publishing community

Our community writes The Mead; it contains a range of stories, news, listings and notices contributed by Southmead Residents, Volunteers and Workers, as well as those who want to reach our residents.

If you run a group or volunteer/work for an organisation please encourage your contacts to contribute items. Each item requires a photo (unedited and at best resolution).

Please check the home page for printing deadlines.

 

 

 

 

Southmead Development Trust supports and sponsors The Mead.  From 2004 – 2022 it was run by community volunteers.


Our Fourteen grant via Quartet helped us to work towards sustainability in 2017-2018.
