Chief Executive Jon Royle comments on public concerns over drug use in the Telegraph and Argus.

He urged those experiencing substance misuse to contact The Bridge Project for support. Speaking to the T and A, Jon said

The Mobile Dental Unit visits the Bridge project on selected Thursdays and Fridays throughout the year, providing dental services for Bridge all clients.

Happy new year and welcome back those of you who’ve enjoyed a well earned Xmas break! This time of year is important for many in setting new goals and resolutions for the year to come but also it’s a time to reflect on where we are now and the distance we’ve travelled. Last month I noticed that there are now 92 colleagues on the Bridge payroll and it’s very rewarding to know that despite the difficult financial climate our charity has continued to flourish and we’ve never been stronger.

We are delighted to announce that The Bridge Project has been chosen to take over the support and development of The Space for people who have experienced drug/alcohol addiction and/or mental ill health.

Bridge CEO, Jon Royle, writes:

“Bridge is delighted and honoured to be chosen by the Multiple Choice Trustees, Staff and Space Recovery Community as the preferred organisation to take forward the legacy of the Charity.

Welcome to the new Bridge website and what I hope is the first of a series of CEO blogs.

As we approach our 30^th year in business as a charity I look back with pride on our achievements and forward with some trepidation about the future of our sector.

The Bridge Gym is open to anyone in recovery from substance misuse. If you’d like to join the gym, just ask your keyworker to refer you.
