Description

The Bridge for Heroes is a small charity with a big heart that supports the Armed Forces community of West Norfolk and beyond.

We run a Drop-In centre on South Clough Lane, King’s Lynn PE30 1SE. Our doors are open from 10 am until 4 pm Monday through Friday and from 10 am until 2 pm on Saturdays. We provide hot and cold drinks and home-cooked lunches, as well as a warm welcome and friendly conversation.

If you are a veteran or serving member of HM Forces, full-time or reserve, you are welcome to access our services. If you are the spouse, widow/er, parent, child or carer of someone who has served or is serving, we are here for you too. And we don’t want to forget families separated through divorce or relationship breakdown. We do everything we can to assess needs on a case-by-case basis, and it all starts with a brew and a chat!

What do we offer? As a minimum, a cup of tea (other beverages are available!) and conversation. Looking for practical support or advice? Struggling with physical or mental health issues? Feeling lonely or isolated? We offer positive mental health and well-being support through activities and engaging with others. Our beneficiaries, staff and volunteers, have a wealth of lived experience and you can often find peer support in discussing shared experiences. We can offer 1-2-1 sessions. Although we don’t offer formal counselling or clinical treatment, talking through issues can help and we will support you in forming a plan of action. We can support you with referrals to other organisations and services, or to help you find the information you need.
