About us

Who we are

The Bronte has been part of Liverpool’s story for generations and we’re just getting started!

We’re here to make sure future generations can laugh, learn and grow in a space that is warm and welcoming. From hanging out with friends to trying something completely new, we want young people to make this space their own.

But we’re not just for young ones! We’re also a community hub offering vital support, friendly faces and a helping hand to anyone who needs it.

Because at The Bronte community isn’t just what we do – it’s who we are.

The Bronte, the place to be

There’s never a dull moment at The Bronte!

One minute, you’ll see our junior members getting creative with crafts, the next it’s high-energy martial arts with our senior members. Parents are catching up over coffee and freelancers are working hard on their laptops in the snug. The main hall might be decked out for a party or you could catch a heated game of bingo, all while the future Premiere League stars are making epic tackles on the sports pitch outside. One thing is guaranteed and that is that there will always be a good buzz in the air.

It’s a beautiful kind of chaos at The Bronte and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Mission

Our Mission

Our aim is to promote, build and maintain positive friendships, skills and confidence, empowering children and young people to fulfil their dreams and aspirations.

Promoting health & wellbeing

We’re all about helping people feel good inside and out. From tackling loneliness to boosting mental and physical wellbeing, we run programmes and activities that bring people together and lift them up. No matter your age or ability, we’re here to help you find support, build confidence and feel more connected.

Building practical skills

At The Bronte, we mix learning with fun and adventure.

Our activities are inclusive, accessible and designed to stretch your mind (and maybe your comfort zone!) Whether it’s learning something new, tackling a fun challenge, or getting inspired for future careers, we’re here to help you break the mould, ditch the stereotypes and dream big!

Sustainable in every sense

We’re all about building a future that lasts and for us, that means more than just turning green.

While our new building is packed full of eco-friendly features to help us protect the planet, we’re also working hard to keep The Bronte financially strong and buzzing for years to come. Because we believe a truly sustainable future means caring for both our environment and our community.

A pillar for the entire community

Since 1972, we’ve called the same spot home: the very heart of Liverpool City Centre.

Amidst the city’s concrete jungle, our centre stands as a cosy little oasis – a place full of hope and warmth for everyone who walks through our doors.
