We aim to continue to fund our current wellbeing projects, and start up some new ones too, helping to build essential life skills.
Project by THE BRIDGE HOMELESSNESS TO HOPE
New stretch target
The extra money will go towards maintenance of the building that most wellbeing projects are held in, and will allow for certain projects to be available more than once a week.
The Bridge Homelessness to Hope is a charity in Leicester that provides support and advocacy to anyone over the age of 18 who is experiencing homelessness.
This includes those who are rough sleeping, sofa surfing, and people who are in temporary or unsuitable accommodation.
We've been around since 2008, helping in whatever way we can. Today that means creating a safe space for people to shower, get clean clothes and a hot meal, use the computers, and talk to a case worker for anything they need help with.
Our wellbeing projects include cooking classes, art and music workshops, and football and boxing sessions. Each offering a space to learn new skills, build confidence, and improve mental health.
