Bridgend MP Madeleine Moon welcomes the good news today that KPC Youth have been successful in securing funds from the National Lottery.

KPC Youth has been under threat of possible closure over the last few months because of lack of funding.  The funding from the National Lottery secures its future for three years enabling them to move forward with their major plans for development.

The project opens 7 days a week and provides the local community with advice and support for young people . The Computer facilities have helped youngsters develop their skills and the sports facilities have encouraged fitness and exercise. KPC Youth also help with child care support for many working parents especially in the evenings and through school holidays, and play a vital role in reducing anti-social behaviour.

Mrs Moon said “the excellent work of KPCY with young people is setting an example of excellence in youth work across the UK, as recognised by the funding awarded today by the National Lottery. “
