At Bridge, we believe strongly in supporting worthy causes. We regularly make charity donations as well as holding our own fundraising days and supporting national charity days. Our employees are very generous and we recently had our most successful fundraising day ever.
Below is a selection of recent charity activity at Bridge:
SHINE Manchester
Friday 26th March 2010
A dress down day was held in aid of the Shine Manchester Cancer Research charity event. Two members of staff are taking part in the night time sponsored walk and nominated SHINE as this quarter's dress down day beneficiary. A total of £119.27 was raised by Bridge employees.
Childline
December 2009
Instead of sending out Christmas Cards, Bridge will be including a festive greeting in their emails and making a donation to this very worthy charity.
Nottingham & Nottinghamshire Victoria Cross Committee
November 2009
The committee is raising funds for a memorial to those awarded The Victoria Cross, which was awarded for 'conspicuous bravery or devotion to the country in the presence of the enemy'. Committee Treasurer C. P. Stewart explains that 'it is with the support of organisations such as Bridge that our task of raising the funds for the memorial to these great men will in time succeed'.
Children In Need
Friday 20th November 2009
We charged employees to dress down as well as having a raffle and a cake stall. The day was a huge success and was our most successful fundraising day to date raising £307.53 for the charity.
D.A.S.H. (Disabled Association for Sport in Hyndburn)
Friday 26th June 2009
Our summer dress down day supported D.A.S.H, a charity nominated by a Bridge employee. We raised a total of £144.40 for the charity which was used to purchase a new CD player and replace broken equipment.
Red Nose Day
Friday 13th March 2009
Bridge employees raised over £150 for the Comic Relief charity by donating money for dressing down. Those members of staff who wore an item of red clothing (Comic Relief noses were counted as clothing!) were entitled to a discount!

Bridge employees held a Christmas Charity Raffle in aid of Childline and raised £136.10.
When You Wish Upon A Star
