ANNUAL REPORT 2025
2025 has been a remarkably busy year some of the highlights.
Sport
In partnership with Berks & Bucks F.A. we are providing young people with access to high-quality, structured football sessions. These sessions focus on developing technical skills, improving physical fitness and enhancing teamwork and leadership. This collaboration is helping young people build confidence both on and off the pitch, while fostering a sense of belonging. In addition basketball, dodge ball, gymnastics and other sporting activities are still popular.
Music
Our Music Technician focuses on preventing knife crime and street violence by engaging young people in positive, creative activities such as rapping, D.J. Ing, and singing. This provides a safe platform for young people to develop their music skills while raising awareness about the importance of community, respect and nonviolence.
Gaming & I.T .
The IT Suite is a key resource for helping our young people develop essential digital skills. We focus on running supervised e-tournament’s. These activities are designed to be fun and engaging while promoting problem-solving, collaboration and technical literacy. The Suite also serves as a safe, supervised place for young people to access technology when they may not have reliable home access.
Arts, Crafts and Extras
Beyond core provision, we offer a range of extra activities focused on developing practical life skills and creativity. This includes making accessories like jewellery, which taps into creative design skills, but also popular activities like cooking and baking. These sessions teach young people basic nutrition. Kitchen safety and teamwork. Offering valuable skills they can use at home.
Skate & Rave
Organised and run by our Music Technician. The Stake & Rave has become a regular feature and continues to grow in popularity. The event brings together young people from across the community to enjoy an evening of music, ice-skating and self-expression in a safe and positive environment. Britwell Youth Project members participate in the performance giving them the opportunity to highlight their talent, build confidence and take ownership of the event.
Evening Youth Club sessions for 50 weeks of the year provide much needed space for children and young people to thrive in a safe and welcoming environment.

A Very Britwell Christmas
A very Britwell Christmas ended 2025 with a fantastic community event. Members of Britwell Project staff volunteered which saw over 60 Christmas Lunches, cooked and served at Britwell Centre. Lunch was followed by stalls, a visit from Santa, Raffle, Tombola and Arts & Crafts. A great Britwell event for the community.
