ANNUAL REPORT 2023
We are overwhelmed to have been awarded National Lottery Funding which commenced in July for a further five years. This has allowed us to continue to provide Holiday provision for eight weeks of the year. Continue to build the capacity and ability to support disadvantaged young people within the local community in an area of significant deprivation, with the offering of a permanent and diverse Youth Centre for children and young people aged 8 plus through evening sessions.
Activities included music production, arts & crafts, I.T. Suite and a variety of sporting activities. With support from NHS Frimley weekly Boxing Sessions were held. Funding for the Boxing Sessions are continuing with thanks to #OneSlough which will run through 2024. Weekly Dance Sessions are supported by Get Berkshire Active.
We were also able to offer the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme during the Easter & Summer Holidays. This provides support to children and young people in receipt of free school meals.
Osborne’s (Slough Borough Council’s maintenance Contractor) provided 30 Pumpkins, 3 £15 Smyth’s Vouchers and plenty of prizes for all who took part in the Halloween themed October week.
The work in School’s with Music at the heart of the project is going well and is used strategically to engage as well as educate young people whilst boldly standing up against crime, violence and saying no to knife crime.
On Saturday 11[th] November saw the return of our outdoor Music Event Love Music Hate Violence with performing Dancers, Rappers, Poet’s, Singer’s and Writers with 50 plus community members attending.
The ongoing support from our very loyal anonymous supporter who has donated £10,000 each year since 2012. This huge sum has been magnificent and without this we would not be in a position to support young people and continue the work at Britwell. A big thank you on behalf of us all.
Other funding this year have been received from Mobbs Memorial Trust donated £5,000 which saw a complete transformation of the entrance hall and passageway flooring. Community Trade Union have donated £500 which will purchase new chairs for the Coffee Bar Area. Funding applications are ongoing which if successful will update the building.
Survivor Ta Kwon Do, Arc Pre-School and Prayer Group continue to use the premises. Unfortunately for the second year running Langley College were unable to enrol enough students to make the course viable here at Britwell.
July saw Billy who joined the staff team as Sports Development Billy soon became a very valued member of staff. Qudsia Admin and Finance moved on to a new role in November and we wish her all the very best for the future.
Finally thanks to Britwell’s Trustees and Management Team for all their support it is much appreciated.
