Welcome to The Bridge!
At The Bridge, we extend a warm welcome to autistic adults, young people, and individuals with learning disabilities. We pride ourselves on offering a diverse program of activities and work experience opportunities right in the heart of the community.
Our Approach
We believe in inclusivity and empowerment. Our students actively participate in shaping our activity programs, ensuring they are accessible and tailored to individual needs. From cooking sessions to financial skills workshops and crafting sessions, our programs encourage trying new things, developing interests, and acquiring new skills. Additionally, we offer a range of social and leisure activities, including art, sports, and special event celebrations, often venturing out to local venues.
