Due to the weather forecast of more snow this afternoon and freezing temperatures overnight, we have made the decision to cancel tomorrow’s walk and Shuttle to the Shops trip.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused and normal service will hopefully resume next week.
What a year 2024 has been for the Bridgend Centre! As with all years, there have been highs, lows and change aplenty.
We ended the year on a really positive note with confirmation that we have secured funding from the National Lottery to transform the first floor of the Centre which will allow us to expand the services we deliver to our community.
There is always lots going on at the Centre and every day is a hive of activity here but here is a selection of photos which gives a glimpse of what goes on.
We are very fortunate to have wonderful support from the local community, whether it is in the form of donations, skills or coming in to chat and brighten up our day. Thank you to everyone who contributes to our Centre and we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The Bridgend Winter Prize Draw was ‘drawn’ yesterday afternoon at our Christmas Party. The draw raised over £1,100 for the Bridgend Centre, which is absolutely amazing.
A huge THANK YOU goes to the donors of all the prizes including Love Bollington Market, Conduct IT, Broadheads Garage, Belfields Village Bakery, the Adelphi Group, Jo’s Nail Room, Woofingtons, Off the Leash, Loose Leaf, Solu Candles, Run Draw Walk, David Steeden, Bollipots and Anna Barker. We really couldn’t do it without you!
We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded £167,000 in National Lottery funding to renovate the first floor of the Bridgend Centre.
We will use the money to replace the Kerridge stone roof to the front of the building and develop the first floor to create two modern and bright meeting rooms that will be used to accommodate more activity groups, exercise classes and one-to-one meetings for the community.
We’re delighted that The National Lottery Community Fund has recognised the work we do at the Bridgend Centre and that we have the opportunity to expand the depth and breadth of services we deliver. By renovating the first floor of the building, we will be able to create a lovely space to spend time and ensure it is available for community use for many years to come.
Thank you so much to Gareth Ridge for running the Macclesfield Half Marathon on 27th October in aid of the Bridgend Centre. Please do support him by sponsoring him here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/gareth-ridge-1727783880520.
Every penny raised will go to the Bridgend Centre which provides a range of services and support for vulnerable people in Bollington and further afield.
The Bridgend Centre will be closed on Monday 8th October for staff training. Apologies for any inconvenience and we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!
The Bridgend Bake-off 2024 will take place on Saturday 28th September at Bollington Arts Centre. It looks set to be a fabulous day. What will you bake?
We are thrilled to announce that we were recently awarded a grant of £19,900 from the National Lottery Community Fund to support the work we do in the community of Bollington over the next two years. Aimed at supporting vulnerable people, reducing social isolation and improving people’s lives, the money will be used to fund our Drop-in support service and activities.
Thank you so much to the National Lottery for this wonderful award.
