How We’re Helping the Community During Lockdown

 Tue, April 14, 2020

We hope that you and your loved ones are fit, well and healthy during the Coronavirus lock down?

Castlehaven have been busy since we shut the Community Centre, Horticulture Hub & Sports Pitch. We have delivered many services remotely and continue to add to our offers of help weekly.

We have contacted all our Ageactivity 60+ members, families and vulnerable individuals who access our environmental well-being projects. We've been busy having friendly catch up chats, giving support and signposting those most vulnerable to services that are providing food & medication deliveries, care and dog walking services etc. We have also been keeping our community parks clean and healthy for all to access regularly for your daily exercise and dog walking needs.

The Castlehaven staff team are working from home and are providing the following services whilst our facilities are closed to the public:
