About Us
The Phoenix Centre also known as The Hill Community Development Trust (HCDT) was established 17 years ago to manage the Phoenix Centre in Townhill as a community hub at the centre of the Townhill ward consisting of three distinct communities – Townhill, Mayhill and Gors Avenue.
The purpose of HCDT is to relieve the effects of poverty and promote regeneration in the area. This is done through the provision of facilities and services at the core of the community.
The Phoenix Centre provides a hub which offers low cost accessible childcare to local families, high quality food at our café and sports training facilities on our All-Weather Pitch.
The building has 10 business units hosting a wide variety of services including a Community Shop and Job Shop.
The units also provide local people with office space for new business start-ups.
We also have an adaptable conference space which is used by a wide variety of partners to deliver training, education and much more.
The centre has disabled access, including disabled toilets and baby changing facilities.
Townhill Library is also situated within the centre. For more information about Townhill Library, please visit here.
Conference Rooms
Our conference facilities can comfortably seat up to 70 delegates, but with flexible partitions we can accommodate any number of delegates up to this number.
Our conference rooms tend to be used for a wide range of purposes including seminars, training courses, conferences, lectures, presentations celebrations and other events.
Upon request our cafe can also provide a full buffet service, teas and coffees and catering for all dietary needs.
We also supply conference and office equipment such as flip charts, power point projection system and screen.

What people are saying
Steph
Very nice community cafe and library. All staff are very helpful, which is needed as so much goes on here. Food was great and affordable, so ideal for pensioners and families. Environment is clean and bright including the loos. Wheelchair accessible building.
Lots of different clubs and activities on site from a nursery to Monday night free meal club for everyone. A reminder of why Swansea is such a great place to live outside the main tourist zone. Our council is getting it right in creating spaces where the community can come together.”

Emma
“A great place. I facilitated some training here today for an organisation and the venue is large, and easy to get about in with my wheelchair and the staff were very friendly. The meeting took was great too. Great place.”
