COASTAL PLAY 
16th June
14th & 28th July, 11th & 25th August
Coastal Play is a children's soft play area for children aged toddler to 10 (height restrictions will apply and take precedence over age). 

We provide a huge play area that includes 2 Bouncy Castles, one with slide, Soft Play Pods & Shapes, plus Bouncers, Inflatable Pitch and toddler area. It's a great space for running around and letting off some steam - especially when the weather outside's not so nice! 

Coastal Café Coastal Café is a seating area within the hall where parents can see children at all times while enjoying a coffee and snack.

We're looking forward to a busy, fun-filled June with Coastal Play on Saturday 16th June, followed by Mess Around Life's a Beach on Sunday 17th, then a full week of activities for this year's Skateraw Fair. Phew, we'll need a holiday after that! But then of course it'll be Summer @ the Bettridge - programme to be announced shortly! Go to our What's On page to find out more.

​This is our current Annual Review.

We're 15 years old!

And we still can't believe it! Thank you to all our lovely volunteers who helped at our Family Fun Day and to everyone who battled through the snow to attend! We had a great time celebrating this amazing achievement. Many thanks are due to Newtonhill Tesco and Leathen Fields Co-op for providing us with supplies for the coffee morning.

Re-development Project
Public Consultation

Picture

We want to ensure that everyone's views about the future of the centre are taken into account. This will help to ensure that what we do results in the best possible outcome for both us and the people who live in the area we serve.

​We've published a questionnaire in the latest edition of the Newsey and there are also hard copies and large print versions of the questionnaire at the centre. If you'd prefer to fill in an online version please follow this link. 

We are still keen to encourage as many people as possible to get involved with the project - whether it would be offering your services for a specific piece of work or joining the project team for the duration - we would be delighted to hear from you.

​Please call us on 01569 731320 or email info@bettridgecentre.org.uk.
The Bettridge Centre has been lucky enough to be selected as one of the Co-op local causes until 27th October 2018. If you're a Co-op member and you'd like to support us you can vote for us when you shop at the Co-op stores in Portlethen and Cove. If not, please consider joining! 
Every time members shop at the Co-op, 1% of what they spend on selected own-brand products and services goes to the Co-op Local Community Fund.
We're raising funds to buy new, lightweight furniture for our kitchen and cafe/bar. It'll be comfortable, stackable and easy to move and keep clean. This will help make the space more flexible and will benefit our user groups, including Newtonhill Out of School Club, Babies and Toddlers, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. We would also like to buy a floor scrubber to help our staff maintain a high standard of cleanliness.

​Could you be a friend to the Bettridge Centre?

As we’re sure you all know, the Bettridge Centre has a Management Committee, and paid staff, however, there are maintenance works that need to be carried out which could end up costing us quite a lot of money.

That’s where YOU come in! Do you value our community-owned and run Centre enough to become a Friend? We have resurrected the Friends of the Bettridge group, which in the past, was a group of volunteers with the Centre’s best interests at heart, who were willing to give up a few hours here and there to do some painting, sell tickets at an event, maybe help tidy out some cupboards, build some shelves and other wee jobs.

Do you think you could be a Friend to the Bettridge Centre? If so - great! Each time we are running an event, or planning some maintenance works, we will post up a date and time, and let you know what help we need. For example, when running a film screening, we might need people to sell the tickets on the door, and someone to help man the Cafe. You can then pick and choose what you would like to help out with and how much time you’re happy to give.
