The Bridge Project –

Supporting women affected by domestic abuse to achieve their aspirations

The Bridge Project team are preparing to launch The Mentoring Programme. This programme is designed to provide one to one practical support to access services within the community, increase self confidence through a range of new experiences and assist women to achieve specific goals identified through an individual development plan.

The programme, in partnership with Neath and Port Talbot Council for Voluntary Services is looking for volunteer female role models to support women in the community within a personal relationship developed through regular contact over a period of time.

Involvement in the mentoring programme can be a very rewarding experience as it offers an excellent personal development opportunity as well as the chance for many people to put something back into the community.
