The Southville Centre, Bristol has 195 families on its waiting list, and has aspirational plans to increase its places by opening a new 50-place provision. The centre is a social enterprise run by Southville Community Development Association (SCDA) which offers a wide variety of services from what was a school building. In the early 1990s the local residents established the centre as a community facility. Since then, the services offered have developed in response to the community's changing needs. The centre now sits in a location which borders a less advantaged area, and a more affluent area.
