Bridges Project

About

Our purpose is to enable young people from the Lothians to access and sustain the key services they require to make a safe transition to adult responsibilities including independent living, employment, further education, training and personal well-being. We believe that young people should determine the shape of their futures and participate fully in the social, economic, political and cultural life of their communities. We offer quality services, which value young people's strengths and work with their inter-related needs and barriers to progress. We listen to the views of young people in designing and monitoring our services. Programmes and services will be adapted to young people's changing circumstances, aspirations and progress. We commit Bridges to working in local partnerships, which aim to coordinate and maximise resources using approaches which are informed by an understanding of the processes, needs and wishes of this marginalised group.
