Goals

Bridgemead was opened nearly 30 years ago. Its aim was and is to provide a Christian community for Bath residents needing to move into a well-managed nursing and residential care home.

However, as we look ahead we also need to address the increased flood risk, arising from the impact of climate change. With that in mind we have designed and tested a range of flood defence options. Our agreed design is progressing through the final design stages and we have begun the task of raising the nearly £1 million required to complete the works. We are fortunate in having the platform of the 30 years’ celebration events to launch our efforts.

You will provide support to the Fundraising Team maintaining close ties with the Home Manager, the Trusts and Foundations Fundraising Adviser and with the Friends of Bridgemead.
