BUCFP Statement on COVID-19

In view of the current situation regarding COVID-19 pandemic, we feel that in order to protect our Centre users, volunteers and workers we have decided to close to the public & volunteers for the next two weeks until 31st March at the earliest.

However, the situation is changing daily and we want to do everything in our power to make sure everyone is safe. We will therefore check in with the situation before reopening on 31st March. Please check our website and Facebook page for daily updates in the meantime.

We realise that our services are a vital life line for some of the most vulnerable in our community. We wish to be as helpful as we can in the coming weeks. Therefore, staff will be running a closed door emergency food parcel service only as long as is practically possible.

  • We will be handing out pre-prepared emergency food parcels (one per household per week) – until our supplies run out 10-4pm Tuesday-Friday.

  • Please contact us before hand if you require a parcel or more info: 01273 601 211

  • We require the following information in order to monitor this service – name, date of birth, address, contact number and number in household.

In times of crisis it is so important for communities to remain strong and look out for those who are most vulnerable. If you know of anyone who is particularly isolated without family, please get in touch – we will try and reach out and help where we can or point you in the right direction of other support available during these difficult times.
