The Bridge Homelessness to Hope Charity - Leicester
The Bridge Homelessness to Hope has a strong Christian ethos, was established as a homeless charity in 2009.
Our vision is for everyone to have a place they can call home and hope for the future. Our aim is to support the most isolated and marginalised people who often have no one else to turn to.
The Bridge provides a non-judgemental service to the homeless and vulnerably housed in Leicester. We offer support and mentoring to anyone who is homeless, or who is at risk of becoming homeless, this includes rough sleepers, people that are sofa-surfing and those that are in temporary or unsuitable accommodation.
