Here at Bridgend Farmhouse we're looking ahead to Easter - we'll have a hunt on Easter Sunday, and Outdoor Activities courtesy of Trees and Seas during the final week of the holiday. There will be another exhibitor from the Backstage Art club in April [all going to plan], and Aisha will take the exhibition room walls over in May. Our summer led ride schedule resumes weekly on Fridays with A Wee Pedal, and we'll no doubt hear lots of giggles and whoops from the Very Inclusive Play Club as the weather improves and they can get outdoors more. The growing season will be well under way, cue chutneys and jams... and the blossom will be out in just a few weeks bring a splash of colour to the site! Yet another busy season expected all round the Farmhouse.
AND SO, INTO 2024……
We have a busy few weeks ahead, planning the year’s activities and events.
First we are re-opening the café and kitchen after a refurbishment. Then we are moving into our new Bike Barn which has been created in the old farmhouse piggery. This is part of our active travel programme which has been given support from Cycling Scotland, Paths of All and the City of Edinburgh Council.
Our “Farm to Fork” gardening project in the allotments has been given a further two years of funding. And we will be continuing our programme of arts and craft sessions, woodwork, peer support, yoga, and seasonal events.
This year we also want to find out more about our community, starting with networking events and finding new ways to survey and engage with the people living around us.
One of the main aims of Bridgend Farmhouse has always been to offer volunteering opportunities for a wide variety of people…school and university students, the unemployed, those newly retired and those living alone and feeling isolated. So please come and join us, bring your skills and energies and enthusiasm for the year ahead.
Yours, John Knox
