More Funding Good News!

We’re thrilled to be awarded £1000 by Nature Heals Seed Fund through Dorset Community Foundation for our Cornerstone Patch. This will enable us to hold after school and lunch time sessions, alongside work parties to ensure the progression of the project and support wellbeing. We’re not just gardening to support the local ecology and grow food, but also because gardening is so good for wellbeing. Along with this funding, we are also accessing training to measure impact and outcomes, which will be a great help to Alix. Thank you!

And thanks to Youth Project’s Young Leader and Power House Ambassador Emma Roberts, who worked with Alix to create a strong application for BCP Council’s Youth Fund. We are delighted to have been awarded £5000 for the Youth Project to restart and progress the Youth Panel to give Young People a voice in the community, to fund National Youth Agency training for a Sessional Worker, and for the team to receive mentoring and support through Frontier Youth Trust.

The BCP Youth Fund application was a really helpful process as it helped identify what it is we are offering and developing with our young people. And it also goes a long way to frame what we are doing, in case we have more anti-social behaviour again.

For the application process, we needed to create a video:

We’ll keep you posted as both these projects progress.
