If you came to Workbridge over the last four years, you may remember Helene Hinson who was our Food and Health lead.
Since leaving our team, Helene has set up her own amazing bakery!
She is based in Mears Ashby and, alongside providing us and her community the most beautiful sourdough and baked goodies, she also runs workshops!
Please support Helene by sharing or, even better, book on to one of her full days of baking!

Workbridge is rising again; supporting people in our community who need it the most.
A space built by and for people who have often been overlooked. A place where adults with autism, learning disabilities, brain injuries and mental health challenges can learn, grow, find purpose and feel part of their community.

We know what Workbridge means because we have seen lives change. We have seen people take their first steps towards independence, build friendships, gain confidence and find employment. We have seen families feel hope again.

This new chapter belongs to our community. We are rebuilding from the ground up, and every donation, no matter how small, helps us create opportunities that many people simply would not have without support.

If you are a local business, could you sponsor a session, make a donation or share our appeal with your customers and staff?

If you are part of our community, could you spare the cost of a coffee or a takeaway? Together, those small acts of kindness make something life-changing.

We have one month left of our Crowdfunder campaign. Please help us make sure that nobody is left behind.

Workbridge is about belonging. It is about hope. It is about giving people the chance to reach their potential.

If Workbridge has touched your life, or if you believe everyone deserves opportunities and purpose, please donate and share.

Together, we can build something special.

Thank you for standing with us.

This week we held our first new Workbridge sessions.

It was both beautiful and inspiring to begin rebuilding a much-loved service from the ground up.

As I reflect on Day One and Two, I feel excited about what lies ahead because this is co-production in its truest form.

We talked, listened, laughed, shared frustrations and made plans. Together. Truly together.

The new Workbridge will belong to the community who use it. It will be shaped by the community who use it and built around what matters most to them.

This is more than creating a service. It is creating a place where people are heard, valued and able to influence the support they receive.

This week reminded me why Workbridge matters. The future starts here.

Thanks to Lisa Wright for taking the time with us today to take the fabulous pictures 🥰

Today marks one year since we lost our dear friend, Tim Heaphy.

Tim was warm, kind and effortlessly funny. The sort of person who made people feel welcome, valued and seen. He brought laughter into difficult moments and kindness into everyday life. He is deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved him.

We were incredibly touched to hear from Tim’s family, who have chosen to donate some of the money raised in his memory to the Workbridge project. Their generosity means more than words can say. That they thought of us during such a difficult time is something we will never forget.

In honour of Tim, we will proudly introduce The Tim Heaphy Award. Each year on Tim’s birthday, 3rd January, this award will be given to someone within Workbridge who has shown courage and who stays true to themselves. It feels fitting that Tim’s name will continue to stand beside kindness, authenticity and strength.

Tim’s impact lives on in the people who loved him, the stories we share and now through the lives this award will touch in years to come.

Rest in peace, Tim. We hope you are surrounded by those you love. You will always be remembered. 💔
