Acknowledgments
We would like to thank all of those that have funded BiG to deliver activities to support and inspire children and young people over the years!
The government in partnership with the National Lottery Fund
Thanks to the Government in partnership with the National Lottery Fund, we were able to transfer some BiG C.I.C. activities online, delivering our learning and inspirational services, under the BiG Inspirations Online project. We are pleased to see that we were able to fulfill our mission statement through online activities with our USP - using CYP’s own interests to engage them in activities to aid development in the areas that BiG is committed to.

Thanks to Lambeth Council we have also received funding to start delivering activities online due to the challenges Covid-19. We are able to engage children and young people in fun healthy activities like the BiG Morning Routine, and young adults were able to share their experience and challenges with lockdown, in particular the impact on education as a form of support community.

We are grateful to Kick IT Out for funding our Grassroots Development Programme, under its Grassroots Activity Fund.
