Who are we?
The Bridge Project exists to 'Invest in young people so they feel valued and accepted, empower young people to live up to their potential and inspire young people to dream!'
We are a Christian charity based in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire and we work in Tadcaster and the surrounding villages.
What do we do?
We do this through providing a wide variety of children’s, youth and family activities including work in the local secondary school and two primary schools. We run a twice weekly youth drop-in and weekly primary aged club, parent and toddler groups, summer holiday club and various trips through out the year.
