Welcome to The Bridge, the CVS for Roxburgh, Central Borders and Tweeddale

CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE LATEST

The Bridge is a Council for Voluntary Service and a community development organisation. We are an integral part of the Borders Third Sector Partnership - the Third Sector Interface (TSI) for the Scottish Borders.

CORONAVIRUS (Covid-19)
Our local offices are closed to the public but we are still providing a service by telephone, email and via this website and our Facebook page. We aim to give you the latest information on support for Third Sector organisations from local and national partners during the COVID-19 crisis, and how people in communities can work together to support each other. See also the COVID-19 information and resources page, the Funding page and follow us on Facebook at TheBridgeTSIBorders

In November 2020 we produced a short video showcasing the work of The Bridge and a number of local organistions during these past months. See this link
