We house and support care leavers and young homeless
About Bridge for Young People
Young People and Children First, known as Bridge for Young People, provides a home and support to young people (aged 16-25) who are leaving care or who are homeless. We currently have four housing projects in West Berkshire; Rebecca House , Hope House, Wessex House and Wessex Flatlets.
Our residents have typically experienced varying challenges during their childhood. We provide them with a stable home, emotional support and practical help during this crucial time as they move into independence.
Mayor of Thatcham – Thank You
Bridge for Young People have been delighted to be the Mayor of Thatcham’s, Petra Pemberton’s, charity of the year 2025/2026.
At a Civic Reception on Friday 17th March, Petra awarded our charity a cheque for £1,045. We were joined by Swings and Smiles and Homestart.
It has been a pleasure working with Petra and her team over the last year. We congratulate Petra and all her hard work as Mayor of Thatcham. She has made such a difference to the community of Thatcham. Thank you.
