BRIDGES - Family, Carer & Grandparents Carers Support Service
Bridges is a registered charity and was created by families and carers who were supporting loved ones with alcohol or substance misuse problems. We offer a client centred service with individual support packages that enable the family to cope with the problems that arise from addiction. Addiction impacts all members of the family and we offer a holistic systemic approach to address issues, which affect the whole family.
Bridges opened its doors in 2001 when local carers of substance users came together to form a centre where they could access support.
The service is available to everyone who has been directly affected by someone else's substance use-including parents, partners, grandparents, brother and sisters (over 18 years old).
