BRIDGES is a new project that provides accommodation for 16 to 17 year olds who need a few days of emergency accommodation whilst their longer term housing and support needs are assessed. Bridges is funded by Cheshire East Children and Families who will be responsible for referrals into the project. YMCA Crewe has designed two separate rooms for the Bridges service, with a shared kitchen and bathroom. We provide a safe, supported and fully catered environment for this vulnerable group acting as an effective bridge to the next stages of independence.
