What We Do Across Monmouthshire
Bridges is an independent county-wide charity working across Monmouthshire to improve wellbeing, reduce isolation and create opportunities for people of all ages.
Through nine service areas delivered by 32 specialist staff and supported by over 370 volunteers, we work with more than 1,500 residents and families each year.
Our work is built around four core pillars.
🟢 Connection & Community
We create welcoming spaces and meaningful relationships that reduce loneliness and strengthen community life.
Isolation affects people of all ages. Through befriending, social groups and volunteering opportunities, we help people feel connected, valued and supported.
