Our farmhouse remains completely closed at least until the Scottish Government can ease the current lockdown restrictions.
The Scottish government’s guidelines make it clear that no-one should be visiting the site, except for essential purposes.

This doesn’t mean that the work of Bridgend Farmhouse will cease:-
Our Zoom sessions for arts and crafts singing group and more will continue, details on getting involved here.
We still intend to go on with the regular telephone calls to those living alone or those who would appreciate a live chat now and then.
Our bike shop will be available most afternoons but only for emergency repairs on the bicycles of key workers. This is on an appointment only basis, please call 07591 882 779 or 07710 110 257 to make an appointment.
The staff will be working from home, looking for ways in which we can help our community through this difficult time. Suggestions welcome. You can contact us via admin@bridgendfarmhouse.org.uk or info@bridgendfarmhouse.org.uk
Keep in touch and stay safe.

We produced this short film for our AGM on November 30th 2020. We were trying to sum up this difficult year at Bridgend Farmhouse. Like everywhere else, all our plans went "agley" or at least were postponed. Knowing so much in our surrounding communities would be affected, and many wanting to help, we were able to utilise the farmhouse and our resources to respond strongly to the Covid emergency. We were able to offer and coordinate various activities and provisions this year, and we are determined to bounce back as soon as we can in 2021. Filmed and edited by Eric Fernandez-Baca, with input from Lynne Colombo, John Knox, Will Golding, and a credit to all Bridgend volunteers, members and local residents who were part of all of these efforts. |
