COVID is still circulating and likely to continue in the coming months. We advise people to take simple steps to minimise the spread of Covid and other infectious illnesses.
Any member who feels unwell, nauseous, has a temperature, cold, flu or a cough should stay home until they are symptom free.
Continuing to practice good hand hygiene at home with soap and water is key to preventing the spread of infections
Catching coughs and sneezes in tissues then binning them is a simple way to minimise the spread of illnesses
When unwell, stay home and avoid contact with vulnerable people
Make sure your Flu and Covid vaccinations are up to date (contact your GP or medical centre to arrange a vaccination appointment)
Border Links still encourage social distancing and staff and members who wish to wear a mask are free to do so. Staff continue the cleaning schedule before and after each session and we are therefore unable to provide transport for members.
Getting in touch: If you wish to report and absence or chat about any concerns or have any questions, please get in touch contact the office on 01289 305423/07900 252894
Just click on the link to support Border Links. We provides a valuable, person centred service for adults with additional needs in their local communities.
With your help we can purchase more new and updated equipment for our members which are always needed. Things like art paper, brushes, paints and table easels, equipment for cookery lessons and of course we all need to learn about digital devices.
We thank you in advance for your support and good luck!
Best wishes,
From us all at Border Links

- Michael Whitehead, was one of our first members.
It was in June 2006 that Michael first started at Border Links in Cornhill. He came up with some good ideas for the veggie baskets and enjoyed painting with Billy as well as a trip to York on the train. Michael often entertained the members with his musical ability and played many instruments including the accordion and the organ.
Michael sadly passed away in 2012 but we remember him every year through the Michael Whitehead Achievement award given to a member of Border Links. His sister chooses someone each year who has achieved something in their life that is of major significance to them.
