The Bridge Learning Disability Services & The Bridge Cafe

The Bridge Learning Disability Services

Based at Holbeck Community Centre, Health for All’s The Bridge is a friendly day service for adults with learning disabilities. We are open from 9.00-3.00pm, Monday to Friday, 51 weeks a year, with transport provided by our own HFA Transport service: HFA transport provision

The Bridge offers a varied programme of meaningful activities and classes both in and out of the Centre, designed to promote integration, reduce social isolation and contribute to social, physical and mental wellbeing. The importance of a healthy lifestyle is emphasised through activities including boccia, tag rugby, football, cricket, adapted ping-pong and walking. We also provide a wide range of arts activities (pottery, painting, crafts, music and dance) often led by local working artists. These focus on celebrating each individual’s creativity and help to maintain and improve emotional and mental health.

We facilitate engagement with the wider community and seek employment opportunities (both paid and voluntary) for those individuals who want them, launching The Bridge Café, a thriving local café in the Watsonian Pavilion; The Bridge Cafe, located in Cross Flatts Park, Beeston.
