A Note from the Founder

Bridging Roots, Strengthening Communities – A Vision for Inclusive Growth

Dr Neha Sharma, Founder & Managing Director

I am honored to officially introduce BridgeRoots CIC, a dedicated initiative under the Vedansh Ventures, Dynamic Group of Companies, built on the foundation of inclusion, cultural integration, and sustainable community development.

This is more than an expansion—it is a commitment to fostering belonging, empowerment, and meaningful change where it is needed most.

Over the years, I have worked passionately across various sectors, advocating for holistic, culturally responsive, and community-led interventions. Through this journey, I have witnessed both the strengths and the gaps within existing systems, particularly in marginalized and underrepresented communities. BridgeRoots CIC was born out of this realization—to create a platform that not only addresses these challenges but also uplifts individuals and groups through tailored, grassroots-driven solutions.

BridgeRoots has been the epicenter of Aarogyam UK for the past three years, serving as a vibrant space where culture, creativity, healing, and inclusion come together. Through its projects, people from all walks of life have found connection, expression, and belonging.

BridgeRoots will continue to be part of the Aarogyam family while also stepping into its own identity as an independent community initiative. This next chapter allows us to expand our vision, deepen our roots, and amplify the voices and needs of the diverse communities we serve. Operating across Leicestershire, Derby, Leeds, Coventry, Birmingham, Manchester, Huddersfield, Sheffield, York, and Nottingham, BridgeRoots CIC will focus on:

• Social Inclusion & Cultural Integration – Ensuring diverse communities feel valued, heard, and connected.

• Holistic Health & Well-Being – Promoting well-being through culturally aware programs and interventions.

• Education & Skill Development – Empowering individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive.

• Grassroots Community Initiatives – Strengthening social bonds through impactful, community-led programs.

I am also thrilled to welcome Dr Manisha Patel and Dr Vijay Beriwal, experts with the vision, dedication, and expertise to drive this initiative forward with impact and integrity. Alongside Dr Kuldeep Sharma and Elaben Chauhan, who have been instrumental in our journey, we are building a strong foundation for long-term success.

BridgeRoots stands for resilience, innovation, and collective care — and we are excited to keep building bridges that unite people across cultures, generations, and experiences. This is just the beginning. BridgeRoots CIC is not just an organization; it is a movement—a call to action for a more inclusive, empowered, and united society.

I invite all of you to be part of this journey, whether through collaboration, participation, or simply by supporting our vision.

Together, let’s create a future where everyone belongs.

With gratitude,

Dr. Neha Sharma
