Children In Need 2011

Parents & staff of Anglesey & St Francis primary schools together with local businesses, organised a fantastic Children in Need fundraising event on Friday 18th November 2011.
Starting with a Basketball match between the parents & staff of both schools – Anglesey won 12-8! Everyone then went indoors at the LRG for food, stalls, a raffle and an auction.  The whole event raised approximately £1,800!!!

What a nice way to thank Pudsey for all of those known and unknown projects they have funded in our area and abroad!

Thank you to everyone who helped put the event together and took part.

 2010/2011 has been an eventful year for BYF in providing its core service to the community, despite the lack of resources, governance and the dismal funding climate. BYF has been resilient and been able to deliver youth programmes, women development, sporting activities, training and personal development.  

The challenges have meant that the organisation operates in a leaner and efficient way to help those communities most at need.  In staying ahead of the game it has collaborated with other similar grass roots organisations to build new partnership and framework arrangements, in particular SBY who are providing strategic support to meet the changing circumstances ahead.

Things to watch out for in the New Year are,  Myplace, and Services tailored to meet the needs of the community.

In going forward BYF is currently providing the following service in 2012:

• Monday to Thursday Drop in sessions  – between 1:00pm – 3:00pm – help with CV, Job search, etc
• Monday, Wednesday and Thursday between 6:00 – 8:00pm – Youth Programmes
• Every Thursday 11.30 am – 12.30pm- Women’s development
• Saturday Club – between 11:00am-1:00pm for young people aged between 8 -13 years old

There’s something for everyone, come in and participate and meet the people who deliver the service, the best thing it’s all FREE
