    Evidence from participants & partners show an increasing need for opportunities to socialise, develop skills & confidence. Our award winning provision for young adults with additional needs is in increasingly high demand at a time when local provision is in decline. We can't meet this increasing demand, or widen the impact of this group, without additional resource. In particular, the resource & support staff needed for those with significant needs means we can't currently be fully inclusive.

    Our Bridges Group provides a year round, creative and social provision for local young adults with additional needs with opportunities to build confidence, social networks and vital skills. We are raising funds to ensure this work is sustainable at a time when other local provision is in decline. With additional funding, we also aim to expand this work to reach more people. In particular, increase the resource & support staff needed to be fully inclusive to those with significant needs.
