Meet Our Founder
Dr. Neha Sharma is a passionate leader, community advocate, and visionary behind BridgeRoots CIC. With a background in health, social care, and community development, Dr. Sharma has dedicated her career to fostering inclusive, culturally responsive initiatives that empower individuals and strengthen communities.
BridgeRoots CIC was born from the vision and work of Dr. Neha Sharma, a passionate community advocate and founder of Aarogyam (UK) CIC. Through Aarogyam, Dr. Sharma witnessed firsthand the unique needs of culturally diverse communities across the UK — especially around integration, inclusion, and responsive support. Recognizing the growing demand for a dedicated platform to address these needs, she launched BridgeRoots as a separate initiative. BridgeRoots carries forward the spirit of Aarogyam's community work but focuses even more deeply on building inclusive spaces, empowering families, and celebrating diversity.
Today, BridgeRoots stands as a proud, independent community organization — helping individuals and communities build stronger bridges and deeper roots for the future.
