Events at Bridgend Farmhouse
Because of the latest Scottish Government advice regarding social distancing to combat the spread of Coronavirus, we have taken the decision to suspend our activities at Bridgend Farmhouse until further notice.
We have not taken this decision lightly. We work hard to combat social isolation and improve wellbeing among our local communities, and we realise that our decisions have an impact on this. However, we feel strongly that we need to follow the public health guidance from the Scottish Government.
Staff will be working from home, you can contact us by email or on the office number 0131 564 0068 or info@bridgendfarmhouse.org.uk if you need to.
Once we have adapted to this new context as a team, we will explore with local partners how we can provide services in different ways to support our local community at this time. If you have any ideas, please get in touch. If there is anything you need with which we can help, please tell us.
Please look after yourselves and those around you. These are temporary measures and we look forward to seeing you again once everything gets back to normal.
