About us

The By the Bridge Mission

"To give back to our Foster children & young people, the opportunities they have missed"

 

By the Bridge is unique. We are a truly therapeutic Fostering agency and our approach reflects the individuality of every child, Foster Parent and member of staff. We aspire to create an environment in which the most disadvantaged young people are encouraged to:

  • Believe and have confidence in themselves;
  • Explore their gifts and talents and develop independence of spirit;
  • Have enthusiasm for change;
  • Have hunger for knowledge;
  • Accept other traditions;
  • Live in harmony with themselves and others.

 

By the Bridge is commited to:

  • Challenging practises which discriminate and devalue a young person;
  • Promoting the right that each young person has to a high quality and sustainable education;
  • Enabling and empowering each young person by listening and responding to their views, and advocating for their educational needs;
  • Promoting the particular significance of education for young people within our care through the policies, procedures and practises of public organisations and relevant professional services;
  • Building and maintaining professional working partnerships with organisations and services that enable our young people to benefit from high quality services in a variety of settings best suited to their needs, abilities and wishes.

 

We are extremely passionate about busting the myths and misunderstandings around Fostering and who can Foster. We aim to raise awareness in all sectors of society of who can Foster and what Fostering families can give to the children that they look after. We are working to improve the opportunities for our children to feel safe; have healthy relationships; heal and grow into emotionally, psychologically and physically healthy, happy adults – free to thrive, and explore their hopes and dreams for the future.
