ANNUAL REPORT 2024

This year has seen large improvements both internally and externally to our Premises this has been made possible thanks to Charities Aid Foundation America an Internal Grant Making Organisation via Mars Wrigley Funding Global Fund.These improvements include rendering to the front and side of the building, installation of two double glazed windows in the I.T. Suite and a rear window ( this now completes our window programme to ensure that all windows are now double glazed ). New black commercial grade anti-vandal guttering and downpipes to the front and side of the building, new Therdex flooring in Games room, Coffee bar and I.T. Suite, 6 new Myson Heaters installed in the Sports Hall, Electrical work carried out in conjunction with E.I.C.R. Report, 9 new internal doors and the purchase of a PS5 games console & Sony FX3 Camera and Stand. Two electric shutters when fitted will complete the refurbishment programme. We are very grateful to Mars Wrigley without this funding we would not have been able to achieve the fantastic improvements to the building.

Through working with CAF America contacts have been made with Mars Wrigley in Slough who are continuing to support us by providing further funding for the decoration of our Coffee Bar and Games Room.

New cages for the heaters in the Sports Hall were made, installed and donated by a local Company The Iron Man a huge thanks to them for supporting the local community.

Throughout this work on the building, we have been able to maintain our usual Youth Club evenings and eight weeks during the school holidays, enabling countless children and young people to engage in positive, enriching activities. Funded by the National Lottery.

Boxing sessions continue to be popular and run every Thursday this is funded by #One Slough. This encourages young people to keep physically active, boost their confidence/self esteem, teach discipline and give them the opportunity to try something that they would not be able to because of financial costs.

Britwell provides a safe and supportive environment where children and young people can explore their talents and offer them a constructive alternative to negative influences.

Through participation in our projects, children and young people aged 8 plus, build a sense of belonging and community, reducing the allure of gangs and other harmful social groups.

This year saw the launch of our new website britwellyouthproject.org.uk many thanks to Yehia one of our Trustees who developed this for us.

December saw us involved in a Winter Wonderland event working in partnership with Britwell Community forum and Oasis Community Movement, Local Schools, Churches, Community Groups and Britwell Parish Council who provided a donation towards the activities. The day started in Britwell Library with crafting & singing. While this was taking place volunteers were busy putting up lights outside the Youth Project in preparation for the evening event. Local schools, Churches and our youth club members, sang, played instruments while the local community enjoyed mince pies, sweets and 300 cups of hot chocolate.

Starting on Monday 23[rd] December we worked with Slough based Together As One who provided hot meals for those children and young people who are in receipt of free schools meals in addition various activities were available for four hours per day.

Arc Pre-School who are open during school term time provide support to local families who require childcare. Survivor Ta Kwon Do and Prayer Group continue to use the building on a weekly basis.

Finally thanks to Britwell’s Trustees and Management Team for all their valued support it is much appreciated.
