Hastings and Rother project awarded £95,542 from BBC Children in Need

The new funding award - made possible following BBC Children in Need’s 2019 Appeal in November - will support the delivery of vital services to young people in the area and means that the charity now has more than £379,000 invested locally.

Fellowship of St Nicholas will use a three-year grant of £95,542 to provide therapeutic support sessions for children and young people with a range of disadvantages including mental health and complex family issues. Funding will provide a space where children and young people can take part in a selection of activities to help build confidence, self-esteem and develop positive family relationships.

Tracey Rose, CEO at Fellowship of St Nicholas commented: “Thank you so much BBC Children in Need! New funding means we can continue to support even more disadvantaged children and young people within the local community, and continue to support their overall wellbeing and development. Thank you so much!”
