The Bridge

We run family style homes for the marginalised members of our community

The Bridge exists to bring hope to those who have no hope, to see those who are marginalised being supported and valued, and to see people set free from the limitations of life-controlling addictions. The Bridge was started in 1999 in partnership with Oasis Church to serve disadvantaged members of our community. You can learn more about the established recovery programme here.
