❄️ Important Update: Service Closure Notice

Hello to all our members, families, carers, and guardians. We hope you are all staying warm and safe. Due to the extreme weather conditions currently affecting our area, we have made the difficult decision to keep Grampian Opportunities closed for the week beginning Monday, 5th January.

Your Safety is Our Priority, at Grampian Opportunities, your health and safety are at the heart of everything we do. After carefully assessing the local travel conditions, police Scotland advice and the forecast, we feel this is the most responsible way to ensure that everyone we support, their families, and our staff stay out of harm's way.

We want to make sure no one is put at risk traveling in these hazardous conditions.

What Happens Next?

We’ll be in touch: Members of our team will be reaching out individually to everyone who uses our services to check in and discuss any immediate needs.

We will continue to monitor the weather closely and will provide further updates as the week progresses via our social media and website.

Although our building is closed, we are still here for you. Please stay tuned for our updates. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate this wintry blast together. Please stay indoors, keep cozy, and look after one another!

Warm regards,

The Grampian Opportunities Team

❄️ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ❄️

Due to the forecast of adverse weather conditions, there is a potential risk that the start of our services on Monday, 5th January may be delayed. The snow is expected to continue well into the week, and our priority is to keep both our staff and the people we support safe.

A member of our team will contact you either Sunday evening or Monday morning to confirm any changes to service times.

We will continue to provide updates throughout the weekend as the situation develops. Please keep an eye on this page for the latest information.
