With construction works on going in Ayton by Hart Builders Ltd, we want to highlight and remind you of the risks a construction site poses to your child.Being in a populated area the security risks are significant therefore, we have completely enclosed the site with fencing and hoarding and monitor with security cameras and security personnel however, we realise that whatever measures we take the site is always vulnerable to trespass.The reality of an active construction site is that a lack of awareness of the dangers or careless behaviour can result in serious injury or death.Please help us reinforce the message to your children that construction sites are dangerous places and not adventure playgrounds.Thank You!BHABeFriend Eyemouth Duns Coldstream Chirnside Preston, Scottish Borders Reston, Scottish Borders Greenlaw Ayton Village Berwickshire Cockburnspath and Cove Gordon, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Allanton Birgham, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Paxton Scottish Borders , Berwickshire Scotland Longformacus Foulden, Berwickshire Berwick on Tweed Coldingham Hume, Scottish Borders Eccles, Scottish Borders Auchencrow Gavinton, Berwickshire Foulden, Berwickshire Westruther Leitholm Polwarth, Scottish Borders ...

As parents and carers sometimes the pressure of looking after others can feel like too much, even at the best of times and that is totally understandable.That’s why it’s important to look after your own wellbeing too, especially with all the emotional ups and downs at the moment.It’s harder to keep supporting others if you don’t take care of yourself.If you are struggling, pick up the phone to speak to someone you trust about how you feel, a friend or family member or call your GP.Parent Club Scotland have lots of great advice and support on looking after yourself, visit: parentclub.scot/articles/looking-after-yourself-winter#SupportingYouBHABeFriend Eyemouth Duns Coldstream Chirnside Reston, Scottish Borders Greenlaw Ayton Village Berwickshire Cockburnspath and Cove Gordon, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Allanton Birgham, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Paxton Scottish Borders , Berwickshire Scotland Longformacus Preston, Scottish Borders Berwick on Tweed Coldingham Hume, Scottish Borders Eccles, Scottish Borders Auchencrow Gavinton, Berwickshire Foulden, Berwickshire Westruther Leitholm Polwarth, Scottish Borders ...

We were delighted to recently help support Duns Senior Citizens Club with Easter treats and Afternoon Teas.As a Club, Duns Senior Citizens have been unable to meet since February last year due to the Covid pandemic. However, with a grant from Age Scotland the club was able to deliver Afternoon Tea in a box to all its members in late August then a posy of flowers in October on the day they should have had their first meeting of the new session.On the day that the club should have held its Christmas lunch, Christmas Tea in a box was delivered to all members courtesy of a grant from Scottish Borders Welfare Fund while Age Scotland came up with ‘Burns in a Bag’ which the club full took advantage of. All those deliveries have been so much appreciated by the club’s members.For Easter the club provided Hot Cross Buns and an Easter Egg for its 46 members and then, in May/June, it is hoped to hold another Afternoon Tea. These will be delivered in partnership with BHA BeFriend thanks to a grant from our Community Initiatives Programme.#SupportingYouBHABeFriend Eyemouth Duns Coldstream Chirnside Preston, Scottish Borders Reston, Scottish Borders Greenlaw Ayton Village Berwickshire Cockburnspath and Cove Gordon, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Allanton Birgham, Scottish Borders, United Kingdom Paxton Scottish Borders , Berwickshire Scotland Longformacus Berwick on Tweed Coldingham Hume, Scottish Borders Eccles, Scottish Borders Auchencrow Gavinton, Berwickshire Foulden, Berwickshire Westruther Leitholm Polwarth, Scottish Borders www.berwickshirehousing.org.uk/news/bha-supports-duns-senior-citizens-club-with-easter-treats/ ...
