Supporting Our Community Since 2005 ❤️
We’re still here, but we need your support to do more.
Established in 2005 in response to gaps in mental health support and suicide prevention, Bridging The Gap Community Services Inc. has spent years supporting individuals and families across the Coffs Coast.

Where We Are Today
We are still operating, but with very limited capacity due to funding constraints and the loss of our previous premises. We currently focus on NDIS services and EAPA assistance for eligible people while working towards restoring our broader programs.
The need hasn't disappeared, and neither has our commitment.
Help Us Bring Our Programs Back
Over the years, local fundraising and generous supporters have helped us continue our work. We are deeply grateful for that support.
Today, we need sustainable funding, grants, suitable premises and business partnerships to restore our programs and increase our capacity.
With the right support, we can work towards bringing back all our programs and services listed above, restoring our capacity to support individuals and families across the Coffs Coast.
Together, we can bridge the gaps and build a stronger, more supported community. ❤️
