Fundraising Events
The Bridge Trust has to raise over half of its income from the support of the local community and local community fundraising events. So do you have a fundraising idea that could help us? Are you holding an event and looking for a cause to support? If so we’d love to hear from you as every pound raised helps us continue our work with local homeless people.
2021 Christmas Tree Sale
The Bridge Trust has been chosen by local waste management business UBH Group, to be included in their initiative to bring quality Christmas trees to sell to support the work of The Bridge Trust.
For each tree sold, £10 will be donated to the Trust.
All the trees are top quality, premium grade English grown Nordmann Firs, supplied by Blooms by G.
