Bridge

About

The BRIDGE Project aims to provide effective reception and integration supports for asylum seekers, refugees, and third-country nationals living in Galway City and County. This includes one-to-one advocacy and capacity-building initiatives tailored to their needs.
The BRIDGE project aims to empower individuals in the asylum process, refugees, and third-country nationals by developing their skills, confidence, and access to information, enabling better engagement with mainstream organisations and communities.
It also seeks to strengthen the capacity of mainstream organisations by improving referral systems, information sharing, and support services to better meet the needs of these groups.
