CHAIR AND
CEO REPORT
In keeping with The Bridge’s strategic priorities 2022-2024,
we continued our focus on achieving a greater impact for
more people.
We opened four new sites; Beacons昀椀eld, Dandenong, Mornington and
Pakenham, to enable us to provide more services for more people. Interstate
holidays to South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland were
described as ‘life changing’ by the clients who participated. We relocated
our longstanding Clyde Road, Berwick site just up the road to Beacons昀椀eld,
to create more capacity for those on our waiting list and better, more
contemporary facilities.
Results from our annual client and carer survey and collection of outcome
measures showed high levels of satisfaction with client experience. We
welcomed 100 new clients to The Bridge for the year and enquiries remain
strong. The expansion of The Bridge Works has increased opportunities for the
social enterprise to employ more people with disabilities and consolidate our
focus on mobile microbusinesses such as our Cleaning Crew.
