Funders & Partners

Bridges Project has a long history of working within and developing new partnerships and partnership approaches.  We value the very positive benefits which accrue for young people through working in a collaborative fashion with local, national and international organisations.  We are committed to delivering our casework and groupwork services in partnership with a wide range of public, voluntary and private sector organisations to deliver the best possible outcomes for disadvantaged young people.  We are very grateful to the range of organisations and employers who contribute so much time, energy and resources to supporting our work with young people and in providing direct educational, cultural, environmental and employment opportunities for them.
