BridgeWorks Centre

BridgeWorks has rented a property to use as a Centre to assist the children’s homes that BridgeWorks is involved with. It will incorporate residential care, nurture and training of ‘transitioning’ youth; external programs for children residing in the children’s homes (eg – after school, weekend and holiday programs); emergency accommodation for high risk children in crisis; and a place for coming together for shared events of the various children’s homes. Development of this is family-focused care, with residential house parents, and youth mentors.  The Centre is housed in a large double building suitable for multi purpose uses, on approx 5 rai (just under 2 acres) in Chiangmai.
