BRAINTREE YOUTH PROJECT CHARITY
BYPC seeks to improve the life chances of the young people of Braintree (aged between 11 and 18), through the provision of a youth club. This youth club forms the basis for the provision of services (provided by trusted partners) to meet the needs of the young people in areas such as substance abuse, health and welfare, education, employment, relationships and so forth.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that finances remain healthy due to substantial grant funding, including a three-year grant from the Lottery Community Fund. The charity reports a surplus resulting from an underspend of this grant, as staff levels were not fully complemented in some months. Core support from monthly standing orders and church giving continues, though the cost of living has had a slight negative effect on donor numbers.
