About us

 

City Bridge Foundation is a 900-year-old charity that owns and maintains five of London’s Thames bridges, including Tower Bridge.

They will work with colleagues to identify ways to ensure the full range of CBF’s services can support portfolio grantees and aid the charity’s approach to impact and learning.
