We are excited to tell you that work on our building is due to commence on Monday 18th August and scaffolding will be going up on Saturday 16th. We will be closed on Saturday 16th August to allow the scaffolding to be erected safely. We should be open again as normal on the Monday.
This work consists of significant renovations to our 16th century building and paves the way to securing the long-future of our organisation.
The project is estimated to take 12-16 weeks. The aim is to minimise disruption and remain open wherever possible, however there may be occasions when we are forced to close for a short period. We will keep you up to date on this via our social media channels, website and email. There may be occasions when there are a lot of vehicles around the building and you may have to park a distance away to access our services. We appreciate your patience and support for our neighbours during this time.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this project possible, including the The National Lottery Community Fund, which is funding the project, Hogbens Chartered Surveyors and East Cheshire Joinery.
The Bridgend Centre has been awarded funding from the Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance to provide information about cancer to people in our community and work to improve early detection rates.
We will also provide information on how to reduce the risk factors and work to reduce the stigma of cancer and discrimination.
We feel honoured to have been given this opportunity to provide this important service to our community and look forward to working on it in the coming months.
Eek, we have been shortlisted for Charity of the Year in the North Cheshire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards! We find out at the Gala Ceremony in July whether we have won but regardless of the result we are so excited to have got this far. Huge thanks to the Chamber of Commerce for their faith in our organisation and what we do.
