Changing Futures: Bridge the Gap

‘Bridge the Gap’ is a trauma-informed outreach service supporting individuals facing multiple disadvantages in Surrey. As part of the Government’s Changing Futures initiative, we provide person-centred key worker support, developed with lived experience experts.

We provide 1:1 support (4–8 hours per week) and flexible hours: Mon–Fri (10am–8pm), Sat–Sun (9am–12pm), helping those affected by: mental health challenges, homelessness, substance use, domestic abuse, or contact with the criminal justice system.

We assist with housing, healthcare, finances, daily living, harm reduction, and referrals, empowering individuals to rebuild their lives.

Bridge the Gap clients can also access the Surrey Adults Matter (SAM) approach—a multi-agency ‘Team Around the Person’ (TAP) process. This brings together professionals to support individuals, identify challenges, and create a personalised action plan. Practitioners can refer individuals via our referral form or directly to SAM.
