What’s on?
During Covid19 our face to face centred based programs have been suspended and a Virtual Social Support Program created to ensure all our clients have supports in place during this time and they have the choice to stay engage and connected with Bridges to monitor and support their health and well-being.
Transport is still running with one person at a time being transported to necessary medical appointments only. If there are two members of the same household needing transport we use a bus to ensure social distancing. Shopping can be done for clients if needed so that they can remain at home.
Our office and programs have strict protocols around, good hygiene, social distancing, the use of temperature checks and screening prior to drives to ensure the safety of clients, volunteers and staff. Masks and face coverings are mandatory for all when leaving the house. PPE are supplied on request.
