Abingdon Blog

Abingdon is probably the oldest town in Britain - continuously inhabited since the Iron Age. Abingdon is seven miles downstream from Oxford on the River Thames. The Abingdon Blog is a photo record of events and places in Abingdon - mostly every day.

The Abingdon Bridge (TAB)


It is no longer the Bridge Drop-in centre but the Bridge Youth Advisory Centre: doing the same thing but with a different emphasize.

The Abingdon Bridge has been going for about twelve years. They work with young people aged 13-22, offering information and support. Traditionally, the Bridge has been there as a safety net for the more disadvantaged young people, helping in areas such as:
  • Housing & Benefits
  • Sexual Health and Family Support
  • Counselling
  • Drugs & Alcohol
  • Computer Club (helping young people with new skills)
  • Support when coming out of prison
The bridge website has a large list of links including 26 links for drugs and alcohol. One interesting link is to urban75 which has a urban75 blog 50 times cooler than This Abingdon Blog.
