We know our services work – Bridge is staffed by many people who have had support from us and our partners and now use their lived experience to help others make positive change too.
Please consider giving to Bridge through one off or regular donation. Your commitment to our work brings a meaningful a difference to very vulnerable people living with adverse child experiences, pain and neglect.
Please get in touch if you or your community or organisation would like to arrange a fundraiser to help us enable positive change. We would love to support you and have lots of event ideas if you would like some inspiration too.
Legacy funding is a truly special gift. We are often unaware of such gifts until they arrive. If it’s something you’d like to organise and keep private, then please know this is hugely touching – thank you for your compassionate gift.
If you’d like to fundraise or arrange a legacy with us, please email Bridge for the attention of our Deputy Director of Development and Partnerships.
Please get in touch to chat about what we do. We encourage support from businesses that are aligned with our core values of integrity, compassion, empowerment, equity, ambition, sustainable and bold service.

Please email Bridge for the attention of our Deputy Director of Development and Partnerships for a chat.

Bridge is able to offer volunteering opportunities across the organisation – make sure you check out the individual service pages for more information on what we do!
Volunteering is the most worthwhile thing you can ever do. It gives a real sense of achievement, allows the development of new skills and the social possibilities are endless! You will also be able to provide hope to our clients that recovery is possible, and help Bridge continue to provide such fundamental services.
Volunteers at Bridge receive a full induction, on-going training opportunities, peer and 1-2-1 supervision, expenses and an opportunity to expand their CV and skill / knowledge base.

Meet two of our volunteers!
P.G. is just one of Bridge’s amazing volunteers, supporting delivery of services three days a week. Here is what he had to say about volunteering:
“Bridge and Unity has changed my life from attending as a client 4 years ago. I accessed all the process groups and got through the battle of multiple addictions. I started the health and social care course Bridge offers about 18 months ago, and loved all the learning and becoming more educated. I now volunteer in the A.I.M group, the group I first attended, and I love it. I also volunteer in the Fresh Start Hub, and all the support I get off staff is brilliant. As a volunteer at Bridge we are all looked after, the Volunteer Coordinator is always there for us, providing support and information. We volunteers at Bridge are like one big happy family. Come and join us. Greenie x”
R.B is another of our fantastic volunteers, supporting the 4women service three days a week. Here is what she has to say about volunteering:
“Volunteering is part of my recovery. An opportunity to show I’m not just an ex drug user. Giving back to the people who are starting their recovery or are still in active addiction brings me so much reward. Volunteering is a way to build up your confidence, knowledge, training and bring meaning back to your life.”
