Yesterday’s session was all about healing through play 🛝✨
We tapped into our inner child with a mix of serious fun—rounders, playground games, and lots of laughter. Parents, staff, and young people all joined in, reminding us that connection starts when we feel safe enough to just be.

This is what Building Bridges is about.
Community. Healing. Joy. Everyone’s welcome here.

A circle of strength, healing, and sisterhood.
Our recent Open Hub, in partnership with @thevavengers Vavengers, was a sacred space where women from all walks of life came together to share, connect, and heal. While the children were lovingly cared for by our team, we held space for deep conversation, reflection, and support uninterrupted and unfiltered.
Thank you to every mother, sister, and special guest who showed up with open hearts. We can’t wait to hold this space again in the coming weeks.
Community care is revolutionary and we’re just getting started.

🌟 Check out our latest article on Netflix's gripping new series Adolescence! 🌌

The show dives deep into the disturbing realities of online radicalisation, misogyny, and the complexities of youth culture, focusing on the chilling story of Jaime and Katie. With 114.5M views in just a month, this series has sparked crucial discussions about the influences that shape our young men and the societal factors that lead to tragic outcomes.

Join us in exploring how Adolescence opens up a dialogue about these pressing issues, its impact on our understanding of femicide, and the critically important conversations we need to have. 🗣️💔

Our Connecting Through the Arts project kicked off

Our Connecting Through the Arts project kicked off last week with a powerful storytelling workshop on the Windrush generation, delivered by Ade from @uk_parc .

The children not only learned about the legacy of Windrush but were able to connect it to their own experiences of migration — whether their own journeys or those of their family members. Some even drew moving parallels with internal displacement caused by domestic violence or other challenges.

We then had an incredible poetry workshop led by the amazing @akubaquansah, and @amarimarsharris from the @whitecityyouththeatre spent time interviewing and getting to know the families involved - including some wonderful new faces who joined us for the day.

We’re now gearing up for our drama workshops launching on 29th April! This is a 10-week FREE programme for anyone living in Ealing and will be beautifully documented @pink_static_films

To join, register via our Eventbrite – we’d love to see you there!

Thank you, Cambridgeshire!
We’ve just wrapped up our Sporting Souls programme — a therapeutic journey for young men, delivered by good men.

Our powerhouse team:
MMA star & sports therapist @mightymobs , incredible psychotherapist @paul_cox999 , and the legend himself @ccwild79 , have been travelling up weekly to work with some truly inspiring young men.

This was more than just sport. It was healing, growth, and connection.
Therapy doesn’t have to look one way.
