Working at Bridges Programmes has been incredibly rewarding. Through initiatives like the Ukraine and Afghanistan schemes, I have had the privilege of helping people rebuild their lives and integrate into new communities. The most rewarding part of my role is seeing clients gain confidence, find employment and take meaningful steps towards independence. being able to support them, through these life-changing transitions is what I love most about working at Bridges.
