WHO WE ARE

At the heart of The Seven Bridges lies a deep commitment to empower WERS clients through training and development opportunities, whilst also being a window into WERS clients’ cultural communities, where events from poetry to song will become a feature.

With a menu created in collaboration between the staff and WERS volunteers, we’re aiming to showcase the rich techniques and traditions of those who work there. The Seven Bridges will be open for lunch on a daily basis as well as providing a pre-theatre offering.
