BYCP receive a special tree from the Queen's Green Canopy-November 2022


The Britwell Youth and Community Project (BYCP) is delighted to have received a special tree from The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) ‘Tree of Trees’ which stands tall as a message of hope, regeneration and optimism to the nation and the world as part of the Platinum Jubilee weekend celebrations.

BYCP is only one of four organizations across Berkshire and over 300 organizations from across the UK who were recently announced by the QGC as recipients of these special trees in the The Queen’s name, which were gifted in a pot embossed with Her Majesty’s cypher.

‘’It is a great honour to be recognized by Her Majesty for the work that we do here for young people in Britwell, said Centre Manager Paula Murphy.  ‘To find out that we were only one of four organizations across Berkshire to be gifted this tree is truly amazing and makes the work that we do feel’’

Presented by the Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire Mr. James Puxley on Thursday 17th November 2022 at the BYCP premises, the tree becomes a part of a living legacy in honour of her Majesty, joining over a million trees planted across the UK as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy.
