The Bridge drop-in opens from 9am to 12 noon Tuesday to Thursday and Saturday (Friday is for Your Future courses), and from 9am to 10.30am on Sundays. The weekend provision is particularly appreciated.

The £1 breakfast goes down very well. It costs about twice that to make. A laundry load is £1.30; showers, clothing, use of the phone, hot drinks are all free.

So basic needs are met and we give information, referrals and perhaps most important, friendship. Other agencies send outreach workers to the Bridge, including the Anchor medical team, the Community Alcohol Service, podiatry advisors, and more.
