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.

Opening Hours: Monday - Thursday, 10.00am - 4.30pm, Saturday 10.00am - 3.00pm.
