It is no longer the Bridge Drop-in centre but the Bridge Youth Advisory Centre: doing the same thing but with a different emphasize.
The Abingdon Bridge has been going for about twelve years. They work with young people aged 13-22, offering information and support. Traditionally, the Bridge has been there as a safety net for the more disadvantaged young people, helping in areas such as:
- Housing & Benefits
- Sexual Health and Family Support
- Counselling
- Drugs & Alcohol
- Computer Club (helping young people with new skills)
- Support when coming out of prison
The bridge website has a large list of links including 26 links for drugs and alcohol. One interesting link is to urban75 which has a urban75 blog 50 times cooler than This Abingdon Blog.
