The Boys’ Brigade has been awarded significant funding from Government’s Uniformed
Youth Fund which will allow us to support more young people to learn, grow and discover over the next two years.
Funding has been allocated to 43 organisations in England and is aimed at helping more young people access regular, positive activities every year. This will support their wellbeing, give them opportunities to develop vital skills for life and empower them to be active members of their local community.
The investment from Government in our work is really encouraging as it is recognition of the value and impact of our work on young people. Although this funding is specific to our work in England, the benefits will reach across the Brigade, allowing us to invest in developing resources for leaders, strengthening Church partnerships and developing our profile. The funding has also allowed us to recruit a number of new roles to support these priorities.
