Bridges has played a vital role in the life of Monmouth & Monmouthshire for the past 40 years, enhancing the wellbeing of the community. The base for its work since 2003 has been Drybridge House, an important part of Monmouth’s heritage. However, maintenance costs are rising and without help, we will soon be unable to meet the annual £50,000 cost needed to keep the building in good condition, let alone fund necessary improvements to meet new needs. We need your help to raise a development fund to upgrade the building to handle another 40 years of community activity and take on a new lease with Monmouthshire County Council with confidence.
We have set ourselves a target of £40,000 to match the 40 years since our foundation and will aim to achieve this through an exciting programme of fundraising events and activities, including a 40th Anniversary Dinner with celebrity chef, Cyrus Todiwala, on September 19. We are also delighted that the Mayor of Monmouth for 2024-25, Cllr. David Evans, has chosen Bridges Centre as one of his charities to support during his year in office.
