Our Story
Born from community
Growing from shared roots.
Built on Belonging
BridgeRoots began within Aarogyam UK in 2022 as a small, community-led well-being initiative responding to the real emotional and cultural needs of local families. As people from diverse backgrounds joined, we quickly realised the community needed more than health support — they needed belonging, cultural understanding, digital inclusion, and everyday guidance. What started as simple healing circles naturally grew into a wider ecosystem shaped by lived experience.
By 2024–25, our work had expanded across multiple UK cities, reaching people who often fall between mainstream services. To honour this growth, BridgeRoots became an independent CIC in February 2025, while continuing to share strong governance, safeguarding, and on-ground teams with Aarogyam UK. This gives us solid foundations with the independence to meet evolving community needs.
Our work matters because it fills gaps in isolation, cultural disconnect, and access. And at the heart of our purpose is a simple belief: when communities have safe, culturally grounded spaces, they grow in resilience, well-being, and connection. Born from community and shaped by belonging, BridgeRoots continues to grow because the community continues to shape us.
