✍ We've welcomed two new staff members and launched two new programmes 🎉

One of our new recruits is Georgia, who will deliver the Bridges Motivation programme! Partly funded by Global's Make Some Noise, Bridges Motivation will support young people aged 13-21 from East Lothian to reduce their social isolation, improve their mental health and develop life skills through informal one-to-one activities ✅

Chris is the second new addition to our team! He will deliver the Bridges Access programme, which will support young people aged 12-25 from East Lothian with developing employability skills and life skills and with moving on to positive destinations through one-to-one sessions and industry-specific training courses. Bridges Access is made possible through grants from funders such as The Gannochy Trust and the Foundation Scotland administered Bairdwatson Charitable Trust Fund ✅

We're excited to launch these new programmes to young people in East Lothian and would like to wish both Georgia and Chris a very warm welcome to the Bridges team 🤩 🤝

When we launched our new brand about a month ago, we created a blob wall with our new logo on it, which we have encouraged staff, young people and visitors to add their mark to by putting a few dots of colour on the logo 🖌

The idea of the blob wall is that we'll have an ever-growing and colourful version of our logo, which will serve as a visual reminder of the different people whose lives have crossed paths with Bridges at some point and who are part of our story 😊

Ebony, one of our young people, is the blob wall's most recent contributor! Here she is leaving her mark 💫

One of the great things about our one-to-one sessions is that they can take place wherever it suits young people and wherever they feel most comfortable 🥰 Whether a young person wants to meet at Bridges, at home or out in the local community, our support workers are always happy to be guided by their needs and wishes ✨️

This flexible approach make sessions like this possible - where Jayden chose to meet our Independent Living Support Worker Stevie for a walk by the East Lothian seaside 🌊

They also picked up some interesting sea items along the way!
