About Bridges
Bridges provides mental health support and information on a drop-in basis and also group outings and activities. The service is accessed by referral only (GPs. support workers, health professionals) and is for people living with mental illness in the community. The aim is to help people manage their enduring mental illness, gain more social confidence and also help them to resolve any housing or financial problems. It is a safe space to meet others who experience similar issues and difficulties.
The service helps people regain the ability to engage in everyday social activities.
A referral form is required, obtainable by email from enquiries@stmartinshousing.org.uk
