Bridges backs Alina Homecare

Bridges Ventures has invested an undisclosed sum in newly-established domiciliary care agency Alina Homecare. The finance comes from its Bridges Sustainable Growth Fund III, which achieved its final close at £125m last year. Offering services in the south of England, Alina completed its first acquisition last month, buying a family-owned branch in Hertfordshire. It opened its first branch covering the Brighton area in March.
