BRIDGE is our English and befriending programme connecting volunteers with refugees and people seeking asylum for weekly one-to-one conversations.
It’s about much more than learning English. Through regular conversations, people build confidence, friendships and community across cultures and experiences.
For people who have recently arrived in the UK, having a consistent, friendly face each week can reduce isolation and help them feel more settled and confident in everyday life. After just 8 weeks, 98% of our learners report feeling more confident in English.
We provide training, resources and wellbeing support for volunteers, and support learners who want to progress into volunteering themselves.
If you have an hour a week to meet someone new and learn or teach English, we’d love to hear from you.
