Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Alexandra Pereira, the founder of Bridge to Belonging.
My journey began through volunteering with refugee children, where I had the privilege of teaching English, Mathematics, and Science to children from diverse backgrounds. During this experience, I witnessed not only the challenges many children face but also their incredible resilience, determination, and capacity to succeed when given the right support.
Those experiences inspired me to create Bridge to Belonging – a charity dedicated to ensuring that no child feels alone or forgotten. I believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, build friendships, and feel a true sense of belonging within their community. I am passionate about advocating for equality, protecting children’s rights, and creating opportunities that empower young people to reach their full potential. Through Bridge to Belonging, I hope to bring together volunteers, schools, local organisations, and communities to create lasting positive change across the world.
Together, we can build brighter futures – one child at a time.
