Beckton Community Projects - Initiation of the Youth Club - £5000

Go to the project
We are a group of individuals who have grown up in Beckton. We are sad to see that the residents, mainly the youth in our community have been neglected; as a result, anti-social behavior and gang related crimes are now rife.
We have formed Beckton Community Projects to try to rebuild some community spirit and develop community cohesion. We have managed to successfully open a youth club over the last two Saturdays and hope to continue this going forward.
Our youth club is a free service for any young people from Newham aged from 7 to 18. We have 32 children who have registered already. Two of our core members are qualified youth workers who have years of experience working with young people. We have pooled together some capital to purchase some of the equipment, and managed to borrow some equipment to get started.
We have so far had extremely great and humbling feedback from both the young people and parents of our service. The parents in the local community are very excited. With your support we would love to expand on this project and ensure we can sustain this for the long term.
