Beckton Community Projects is a community organisation. We are generally volunteer led from the local community.
We have several projects we are running for our community which include; Youth Club, Muay Thai Kick Boxing (Self defence), Planting project, Women's Yoga, Thursday Football and an annual community Fun-day. All our projects directly benefit the community. We believe its a good way to tackle anti-social behaviour and knife crime. It also helps with physical and mental health well being. We hope to bring community cohesion and tackle crime in our neighbourhood.
The grant will help us purchase equipment and maintain the upkeep of all our projects. This means the young people are able to participate in activities which will help them grow, learn new skills and gain confidence in themselves. The grant will also help us provide workshops throughout the year so both young people and adults can benefit in gaining further knowledge.
We have received feedback from Parents/Guardians and service users. Those who were less confident in the early sessions have been more vocal and participated in more activities and competitions.
We are planning another annual community fun-day so families can come and enjoy a day full of fun activities and delicious food. Our previous community fun-day was a huge success. Over 800 people attended and enjoyed an amazing community event.
