Bridge Endowment Recipients – Crosscare Dundrum Testimonial

Supporting Community Connections This Summer

At Bridge Enterprise Centres, we’re proud to play a small part in helping local organisations make a big difference. This summer, our support helped Crosscare Dundrum and Crosscare DRYS/DLYS create memorable experiences for young people across Blackrock, Mount St Mary’s, Blackglen, and The Clayton Hotel.

Through their dedication, these programmes brought moments of joy, inclusion, and connection – helping young people build friendships, confidence, and a sense of belonging. We’re delighted to share their kind words and see the positive impact our community partnerships can create.

“We are incredibly grateful to Bridge Enterprise Centres for their generous support. Their help allowed us to organise summer trips that brought joy, connection, and meaningful experiences to the people in our care. For many, these outings provided a wonderful opportunity to relax, socialise, and engage with the wider community – moments that truly made a difference to their wellbeing.”

“The highlight of this summer has been seeing the smiles on the faces of the young people I
work with. Thanks to the generosity of the Bridge Enterprise,Centres we were able to
organise activities that gave them joy, laughter, and memorable experiences. As the New
Communities’ Integration Worker, I’m excited to continue supporting them in finding their
voice and their place in the community. One young person shared on WhatsApp that these
trips gave them ‘the opportunity to enjoy life in this difficult phase of their lives,’ which truly
captures the impact of this support.”
