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.
The June edition of our newsletter, ‘Bridging Social Isolation’ is now available to download from our website. Or you can pick up a free paper copy from within the Centre.

On Friday 3rd June at 2:00pm, we are hosting another ‘Time to Talk’ session here at the Bridgend Centre. The sessions are a great opportunity to speak to experts on dementia services, finances, therapies, diet, plus much more.
There is no need to book, you can just turn up.
This coming Saturday, the Bridgend Centre has a stall in Macclesfield Market Square at the Macclesfield Bikeathon 2025, which is supporting the wonderful youth charity Just Drop In.
The Bridgend Centre Bollington is also a charity supporting local people. We will have lots of pre-loved and new items for sale on our stall, please do come and support us on the day, and maybe grab a bargain at the same time!
For the next few months we are trialling extending our opening hours on a Saturday to 3pm. Which provides more opportunities to grab a bargain or chill out in our tranquil Contemplation Garden by the river. Starts this Saturday, 12th April.
We have an exciting new class starting on Monday 28th April at the Bridgend Centre. Contact us for more information or just turn up!
We still have some places left on this Wednesday’s ‘Shuttle to the Shops’ to Stockport Town Centre. Contact us to book on!
We are thrilled to be taking part in the Macclesfield Bikeathon on Saturday 17th May in partnership with Just Drop In. With three different routes to choose from, there really is something for everyone.
If you would like to take part in a fun cycle around the Macclesfield area and also raise money for us at the same time, sign up here: https://www.justdropin.co.uk/about-us/macclesfield-bikeathon/ You can raise funds for us here: https://www.justgiving.com/bridgendcentre
In addition, we will be holding a stall at the Bikeathon start point in Macclesfield Market Square which is hugely exciting as it will allow us to reach a wider audience in Macclesfield!
