Biggar Community Action Group was set up as an emergency response to the Covid pandemic in March 2020. The group responded to the immediate needs of those members of our community who were vulnerable, shielding or self isolating.

With the easing of lockdown restrictions, we quickly became aware that many of the issues we identified in our community did not just go away. We realised that the pandemic simply highlighted problems which already existed and will continue to exist beyond Covid.

Biggar Community Action Group is now a registered charity (a SCIO - Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation). We will continue to offer the services identified as long as there is a demand in our community and as long as we can procure the funds to do so.

This is where we need your help. We have been fortunate to attract funding from several organisations to allow us to continue our work, but the funds are finite.

Our ongoing services include: the delivery of shopping and prescriptions, a listening ear service, the provision of hot meals, afternoon teas, snow clearance and pavement gritting, dog walking, hospital transport.

We also look to identify new needs in the community and will seek to provide relevant services wherever possible.

Please support our efforts by donating what you can. Thank you.
