On the Veranda

Photograph taken by Janet Beech:

“The Veranda area was built by our Woodcraft and Building Maintenance Team. We think it is one of Bollington's secrets. The River Dean and Harrop Brook gently converge and meander beyond the veranda, offering a place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of Bollington.”

Why we are such a popular community resource

The Bridgend Centre was established in 1990. Since then it has grown from strength to strength, widening its appeal to local people as the first point of contact for community matters.

The Bridgend Centre is a community cooperative, where everyone works together for the greater benefit of all. The Centre was set up to create a positive change in people’s lives. The primary aim is to improve the quality of life, especially for those feeling isolated. Since 1990 we have continued to achieve this by breaking down social barriers through community integration and social inclusion.

Our open door policy encourages all ages, social backgrounds, abilities and medical conditions to enhance their lives through interaction with others. By accepting and understanding differences, individuals can relate more easily to each other and be part of our extended family.

Update

We would like to proudly announce that The Bridgend Centre has been awarded The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. This is a reflection of all the hard work and dedication of everyone involved with the Centre throughout its 18 year history. The Management Committee and Staff would like to congratulate and thank all the volunteers who have helped us to achieve this prestigious award.

Thanks are due to Macclesfield and District Lions for their generous donation of £1500.

We would also like to express our thanks to HCSS Education Limited for their £500 sponsorship of the Shopping Project.
