CYP Now - The City Bridge Trust

What it is: The City Bridge Trust gives out grants with surplus funds from its parent charity Bridge House Estates, which looks after London's five city crossings: Blackfriars Bridge; London Bridge; Millennium Bridge; Southwark Bridge; and Tower Bridge. The trust has just announced its strategy for the next five years.

How much is on offer: The grant-making trust has promised to plough £75m over the next five years into a number of projects, which include fighting the causes and effects of knife and gun crime, poor mental health and depression.

What it will fund: It intends to run a number of funding programmes over the next five years. These include a Young People and Parents Tackling Violence programme and - because mental illness is more prevalent in London than the rest of the UK - an Improving Londoners' Mental Health programme that will bankroll specialist services for communities with high rates of mental health problems.
