Who we are
The right help often already exists. We help you find it.
Sometimes the right help already exists, but knowing where to go or how to access it can be difficult. Through our one-to-one support, we listen to what people need and help connect them with the right local services, organisations and opportunities.
We also create welcoming spaces and activities where people can meet others, learn new skills, build confidence and improve their wellbeing.
Whether you need help finding the right support, want to develop your skills, volunteer, meet new people or simply feel more connected to your community, Open Bridge Community is here to help you take your next step.
Our approach
Listen. Understand. Connect. Support.
We know that asking for help and navigating services can sometimes feel overwhelming. Our approach is simple.
-
1
Listen
We start by listening to what matters to you.
-
2
Understand
Together, we identify what support or opportunities may be available.
-
3
Connect
Where appropriate, we help you make that connection - through information, practical guidance or a supported referral.

4
Support
Sometimes it simply means helping you find a welcoming activity where you can meet others and feel part of your community.
Whatever the starting point, our aim is to help people feel more informed, confident and connected.
Our role
We do not duplicate existing services. Our role is to bridge the gap by helping people find the right support, access it and benefit from it.
We'd love to hear from you
