The sun shone brightly for the much-anticipated 'Summer Sizzler' BBQ event! Greatfood, lively conversation, and heartfelt farewells...

Thanks to our BBQ Master, Andrew, our beneficiaries enjoyed a char-grilled feast of burgers, sausages, buns and salad.Who doesn’t love a BBQ?As always, this event was not just about the food, but was an opportunity for our community to come together, catch up with friends, and to enjoy some healthy Bridge for Heroes banter! Everyone embraced the opportunity for connection over a shared meal. Our beneficiaries with their friends and families, engaged in easy conversation, sharing stories and laughter.

The day was also a bitter-sweet occasion, as we bid farewell to three beloved members: John, Carol, and their faithful companion (and everyones’ favourite volunteer!), Trooper the dog. John and Carol have been cherished members of The Bridge for Heroes, and their contributions to the community will be deeply missed. It will be difficult to fill the gap left by Trooper, with his wagging tail and friendly demeanor, but we wish them well in their future endeavours! The farewell was a poignant reminder of the close-knit bonds that have been formed at The Bridge for Heroes, where each individual is valued and cared for.

As the group gathered to say their goodbyes, there was a shared sense of gratitude for the time spent together and the lasting friendships that have been built. The afternoon had been a resounding success, full of great food, companionship, and the celebration of John, Carol and Trooper. The Bridge for Heroes continues to be a place where people can come together, support one another, and create long lasting friendships and memories.

Our 'Summer Sizzler' was more than just a BBQ event; it was a testament to the resilience, kindness, and unity that defines The Bridge for Heroes.

We’re already looking forward to the next one!
