Bridge is a substance misuse programme based in Northampton but working throughout the county.
A brief overview of the work that the Bridge Programme does to support people with substance misuse issues
Bridge is a peer support project which links volunteers who have recovered from alcohol and/or drug misuse with members with serious substance misuse problems. Bridge also provides a range of activities, events and support. There are recovery champions who work with members to sustain their recovery and staff who specialise in advice and guidance on benefits, housing and employment.
Members will have some motivation to control, reduce or cease their drug/alcohol use and benefit from the support and encouragement of volunteers who have direct experience. Volunteers are trained for their role and fill an important and sensitive position.
Members can benefit from all the services Bridge provides or choose those that would be most beneficial.
Bridge would like to announce the tender process is now closed and that we have been awarded the contract for the recovery service in Northamptonshire.
We would like to thank everyone that supported us during the last year.
APPROVED PROVIDER STANDARD
Bridge is pleased to announce that we have again achieved the Mentoring and Befriending APPROVED PROVIDER STANDARD.
The Approved Provider Standard (APS) is the national quality standard designed specifically for all types of mentoring and befriending projects. Projects which meet the requirements of the standard are accredited for three years.
NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
Northamptonshire Community Foundation have recently awarded Bridge the sum of £700 (in addition to the initial sum of £2520) to be used to buy external one year gym memberships for members across the county.
Bridge would like to express its gratitude to the Northamptonshire's High Sheriff Fund.
