It all started with Dougie.
Dougie is the grandfather of our CEO and Founder, Darren.
Dougie is a well-loved and larger-than-life character, but in recent years has been cared for primarily by Darren’s mother and sister.
Darren’s experience with his grandfather, combined with his experience working in the health sector, drew attention to the lack of support that unpaid carers receive.
Darren felt compelled to do something about this, and after a fateful journey across the Humber bridge gave inspiration for our name. We are bridg-ing the gap in carer support (bridg-it- get it?).
Bridgit is still growing and learning but one thing is for sure: we are dedicated to providing the best carer support solutions and help for carers available.
