Bridge Support

Bridge Support is a mental health support startup with a slogan "Mental health support tailored to individual needs from community visits to services provided in our housing facilities." The company, founded in 1986, aims to bridge the gap between in-patient services and independent living within the community. Operating across London and Essex, Bridge Support focuses on supporting individuals with long-term mental health conditions, providing flexible and proven pathways to integrate back into the community. The startup offers a complete pathway of step-down services from hospital to home, catering to a wide range of needs including Forensic, high, medium, and tapering community support. The ultimate goal is to enable clients to live as independently as possible. Bridge Support's services include Bridge Back Home and a non-NHS model recovery college, and the startup collaborates with other providers on specific projects. As of 2023, Bridge Support employs around 200 staff members and, in partnership with the NHS, Integrated Care Boards, and local authorities, the company currently assists over 2,000 individuals annually with mental health problems. While there is no available data on the last investment or investors, the startup's commitment to addressing mental health challenges and providing tailored support services positions it as a meaningful player in the Health and Wellness industry.
