The Bridge's can be traced back to the 1920s when a group of radical, outward looking women set out to form an organisation with the aim of promoting the intellectual, physical, spiritual, moral and social interests and needs of its members. Today, we are more than just a charity and much of what we do is driven by those founding principles.
the charity
We’re working to reduce inequalities in health and wellbeing by supporting women to make positive life choices. Our charitable work provides women with the facilities and support to equip them to have a better life, through knowledge, self-belief, exercise and diet so they can benefit from good health and wellbeing and take control of their own lives. Find out more about our mission and our charitable projects: www.thebridge-uk.org/projects
our women only gym
Every woman is welcome at our gym – all shapes and sizes fit here. Our independent, Central London gym champions inclusivity and gives women the freedom and space to work out with ease and confidence. Our weight area is for everyone and how you look on the cardio machines doesn’t matter. To find out more or join: www.thebridge-uk.org/ourgym
our hire spaces
We have a variety of spaces that come in an assortment of sizes, including meeting rooms, a cafe event space and a beautiful studio. So we’re ready to host your business meetings, auditions, rehearsals, interviews, birthday parties, yoga classes or community events. For more information or to book a space: www.thebridge-uk.org/our-spaces
our independent cafe
Morning or afternoon, for coffee or something stronger, snacks or platefuls, come, find yourself a chair and lose yourself for a few hours. Our cafe is here for you and it's the ideal spot away from home and office. For more information and the menu: www.thebridge-uk.org/ourcafe
