Yellows partner with local charity to help disadvantaged adults

AFC Sudbury have agreed to open up their facilities to a fabulous local charity, The Bridge Project.

Set up in 1995, The Bridge Project assists disadvantaged adults within the community, providing a safe, nurturing environment to support those living with dementia, learning disabilities and those experiencing mental health issues. Now, courtesy of the yellows, they have a new environment in which to continue that work.

The club explain:

'The Clubhouse at AFC Sudbury will provide the right facilities for The Bridge Project’s staff, volunteers and students to not only run but expand their existing range of services. These include their popular lunch delivery services, local events, the dementia café, and pottery painting.

We at AFC Sudbury are thrilled to partner ourselves with such a wonderful community based charity and can see many opportunities to work together to improve our respective offerings.'

Andrew Long, Chairman at AFC Sudbury, added:

“For AFC Sudbury, this partnership is a natural extension of our position at the centre of the local community, supporting the health and wellbeing of everyone, irrespective of ability, gender or race. Our new partners share this basic ethos and we are delighted that we are able to work more closely together to provide that much needed community support, especially during these most difficult of times.”
