FSN Charity - Bexhill Youth Project [BYP]
Celebrating Young People’s Achievements

An award ceremony took place at Victoria Hall, Bexhill on 23^rd October to celebrate the achievements of local young people attending the Bexhill Youth Project who worked to gain a portfolio of AQA’s, a nationally recognised award scheme.
In order to gain their certificates, young people took part in community activities such as fund raising for Children in Need, beach cleaning silent disco, contributing to NHS youth survey. Group and individual activities included, compiling a questionnaire to consult with young people in rural Rother, organising a youth club event, volunteering and developing social skills in the community.
Dr Roger Elias presented the awards, a Trustee of both FSN Charity and the St Andrews Trust who kindly funded BYP over the past three years. The funding helped make a difference in enabling over 40 young people to access free activities, have fun, make new friends and learn new skills. Matt Davey FSN Senior Youth Manager who runs the sessions, commends the young people, ‘they are an example to us all in what they have achieved over the year, through regular attendance and commitment to getting the job done, well done to you everyone’.

Over the 6 years I’ve been here my life really changed. Doing voluntary work I loved meeting people and making friends FSN is non-judgemental and caring.

I have been supported through my career, given so many opportunities and different steps.

- Taken from staff survey 2024

I enjoy coming to PACT, meeting other parents so we can share our experiences, it helps us get out of the house too. The staff are kind and knowledgeable. When my baby is old enough for nursery I would like to volunteer to help run a group.
