As part of Project Bridge Aid, our trained team will be patrolling and providing a visible, supportive presence at bridges along the M6 (Wigan & Ashton), parts of the M61, and the M55 (Fylde Coast).

Project Bridge Aid is about being there, offering calm, compassionate, non-judgemental support to anyone who is in crisis, right where it’s needed.

💜 Volunteers

We are currently welcoming volunteers specifically for Project Bridge Aid; people who are willing to be trained in Su***de Prevention First Aid and First Aid, and who feel able to offer calm presence, compassion, and care in challenging environments.

This volunteer role is about showing up safely and responsibly, as part of a trained team.

If that speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you.

You can email 📧mandy.maloney@epichope.org.uk to show interest and for further details.

If you see our Mobile Harbour, it’s because we’re there to
• listen
• support
• help keep people safe

If you’re struggling, you are not alone.
If you’re worried about someone, please reach out.

This work matters 💜

It’s often said that a club is the heartbeat of a community, but these sponsors are the ones who keep that heart beating.

As we head into the 2026 season, we want to say a massive thank you to our club sponsors. Because of you, we can support every single team under the Bridge banner - from our youngest minis to our Open Age & Masters.

Partners like these aren’t just names around the pitch or on a kit; they are the reason our gates stay open and our players have a place to call home. Your investment in us, is an investment in the future of rugby league in Ince.

To our sponsors: We wear your names with pride every time we cross the white line. Thank you for being part of the family. 🤝
