We’re pleased to celebrate the impact that National Lottery funding has had on the Building Young Brixton (BYB) partnership!
Building Young Brixton is a partnership of ten Lambeth-based organisations working together to inspire and empower young people in Brixton. Since 2022, National Lottery funding has allowed BYB to support 3,857 local young people to improve their outcomes in a range of areas including engagement in schools, community involvement, preparedness for employment, personal relationships, and emotional and physical wellbeing.
Thanks to this support, BYB also launched the Building Young Leaders programme in 2023, strengthening youth voice and leadership across the partnership. So far, 39 young people from across the partner organisations have taken part, conducting listening sessions with children and young people to hear about the challenges they face, and to ensure that our services are meeting their needs. The Young Leaders have also organised a number of joint events, bringing partners together to promote and celebrate the range of services we provide across Lambeth.
We are delighted to have been able to support so many local young people through our services over the lifetime of this project, and we hugely appreciate the National Lottery for providing us with the opportunity to do this important work.
