We need your opinions!

The ground floor of the Bridge Wellbeing Hub was refurbished three years ago (where has the time gone) and has been used by different individuals and organisations. We have recently secured further grant funding to refurbish the first floor, where we plan to add four new rooms.

We are now gathering feedback on how the ground floor is used and exploring how it could work best in future. Your views will help us make the most of the space for the people and organisations who use it.

The survey takes about five minutes to complete and is confidential, though you are welcome to leave your name at the end if you are happy for us to contact you.

If you know anyone else who has an interest in the building, whether they use it now, have used it before, or might like to in future, please do pass this survey on to them. The more people we hear from, the better.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Huge congratulations to Alan, another of our exceptional counsellors, who got to ring our bell on completing his placement hours with us! 🎉

We only noticed the sign in the background afterwards, but it is very appropriate to show this alongside Alan, demonstrating the impact undertaking a counselling journey can have in someone's life! 💡
