About Big Lottery

The Big Lottery Fund distributes over £500m a year to communities across the UK, raised by players of The National Lottery.  They want to use this money to bring real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need.

BYCP has been awarded a grant over five years from April 2016-March 2021 for our project ‘Inspiring Britwell’s Youth’. This is to help build the capacity of Britwell Youth’s place in the community as a valuable and fully resourced youth centre. Since April 2016, ten new staff have been employed to work during the youth club in the evenings and during the daytime in the school holidays. Young people are gaining new skills using the I.T. Suite with six brand new computers and they are writing and producing their own music using our updated Recording Studio. In addition to this, our Sports Development Worker, Cycle Technician and Youth Workers provide Sporting, Arts & Crafts and various other leisurely activities and consultations with young people to help develop their skills. 

Partly funded by the BIG Lottery, Inspiring Britwell's Youth' is a five-year project which is now finishing the third year of the project and there is a yearly shortfall of £32,000 which needs to be raised in order to enable the centre to provide a permanent and diverse offering to local young people.
