Building Brighter Futures (BBF) will compliment existing services at the Greets Green Resource Centre and create a ‘one-stop shop’ for the diverse community. The aims of the project is to bring isolated BME communities together and build strong relationships in and across communities. Activities provided range from social, recreational, health activities to advice, training and focused interventions offering a holistic approach. Community and voluntary sector plays a critical role in transforming the lives of the most vulnerable people in our society. Through decreasing social isolation, accessing mainstream services, reporting increased financial literacy and gaining employment and skills the individual will improve their life chances and also benefit their wider families. We are very grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund for awarding the grant and supporting CBO to make a difference

Development of a more transparent culture so that community development can be shared within a style of openness and trust, building new partnerships credibility in the communities and the agencies, increasing community pride and individual self confidence through skills development and managing local facilities, development and implementation of a range of community involvement and empowerment strategies to encourage the particiapation of the Bangladeshi community, especially those groups which are most excluded and/or hard to reach e.g. women, young people and elderly.
