Event: Referral Partners drop-in session

Do you support people in Northumberland who are out of work and face barriers to returning?

Bridge Northumberland offers a free programme of one-to-one support and welcome referrals in from anyone who has contact with people out of work.

This drop-in session is for those who may refer people in to Bridge Northumberland and is a chance to find out more about the programme, meet a Bridge Worker and ask questions.

Partnership working spotlight - CT Furniture

CT Furniture in Blyth is a great example of our approach to partnership working. The charity sells second-hand furniture for sale, and relies on its volunteers to help support the service. We work closely with them on our Supported Volunteering project, helping place our volunteers at the shop and in the warehouse, knowing they'll be made very welcome in a nurturing environment to develop their confidence and skills whilst on the Bridge programme.
