Local Cardiff project awarded over £120,000


BBC Children in Need has announced that it has awarded a new grant of over £120,000 to a project in Cardiff working with disadvantaged children and young people. The new funding will enable projects to provide services to young people in the area and the news means that the charity now has more than £1.2m invested in Cardiff . This is the fi rst funding round of the year, with additional funding to be allocated to projects across the UK throughout 2018. Pentrebane Zone will use a grant of over £120,000 to provide youth club activities for children and young people living locally. The children and young people will have the opportunity to get involved in activities such as community


gardening, woodwork, planting public fruit gardens across the community, recycling plastic into new things, fi lms, arts and crafts all of which will aim to help the children and young people develop skills, awareness and self-belief. In addition, the youth club will help the children and young people feel like an important part of their community where they can develop and lead on community improvement projects. Through attending the three year project the children and young people will be positively empowered to make choices, have an increased sense of safety, and increase their confi dence. BBC Children in Need’s Chief Executive, Simon


Antrobus added: ‘A huge thank you to our generous supporters – it’s wonderful to be able to award this new funding to projects working with disadvantaged children and young people in local communities right across the UK. The money so generously donated makes it possible for us to fund much needed projects like these, making a positive diff erence to young lives.’ Across Wales BBC Children in Need is currently funding 166 projects to a value of over £10m. BBC Children in Need awards grants at seven points during the year and funds two types of grants, both of which are open to new or existing applicants. A Main Grants Programme
