Our Story

Paul Thornton knows what it means to rebuild your life. As a student at Bridge Support's Recovery College Greenwich, Paul has experienced first hand how the right support can transform everything. Paul now wants to give back. He's leading our team on the London to Brighton cycle ride: 55 miles of determination, hope, and gratitude.

Why This Matters

Bridge Support doesn't just provide mental health services. We transform lives.

Bridging the crucial gap between hospital care and independent living, we offer everything from 24-hour support to community programmes that help people reclaim their futures.

Recovery College Greenwich, part of Bridge Support, takes a unique educational approach to recovery. Through interactive courses and workshops, people discover their own strength, develop hope, and take back control of their stories.

Because recovery isn't something that happens in isolation. It happens in community - and when we strengthen that community, everyone benefits.

Why We Ride

We're cycling because every mile matters:

- to fund vital mental health services that transform lives in our Greenwich community

- to celebrate every recovery story, including Paul's, and those yet to be written

- to show what's possible when a community comes together

- to prove that hope travels—one pedal stroke at a time.

Your Impact

When you donate, you're investing in transformation:

Training that changes everything - your support funds essential learning resources and staff training that elevates care across all Bridge Support services.

Expertise that spreads hope - Recovery College Greenwich's 20 years of experience reaches more people through enhanced training programs for support workers.

Quality that counts - better training means better support, more meaningful connections, and improved outcomes for everyone in recovery.

Every donation, whatever the amount, helps us build on two decades of proven success at Recovery College Greenwich to reach more people who need hope, support, and a pathway forward.

Together, we ride. Together, we heal.
