Fleetwood Town Community Trust has secured a total of £369,000 in funding to expand its work with young people, families and the wider Fleetwood community. This funding will secure the Trust’s work for the years ahead, helping sustain our impact in the local community.

The largest contribution of £300,000 comes from The National Lottery Community Fund through its Reaching Communities programme. Wyre Council has awarded £49,000 from its Community Resilience Fund, delivered in partnership with Community First, while Places for People and Regenda Homes have each contributed £10,000.

These investments will allow the Trust to employ a full-time Community Programme Manager and develop a brand-new family support service. It will also enable the Trust to operate youth provision five nights per week and deliver targeted mentoring services for young people with additional needs.

“We are incredibly grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund, Wyre Council and Community First, Places for People and Regenda Homes for their generous support. Securing £369,000 in total, including £300,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund, is a tremendous vote of confidence in our work and in the young people and families we support. This investment will allow us to do so much more for our community, and we thank every one of our partners for believing in what we can achieve together.”

Tom Hutton, CEO of Fleetwood Town Community Trust.

The announcement follows the recent relaunch of the Trust’s Youth Hub yesterday, where the Trust shared its new vision for the future alongside funders and partners.

“This investment is a huge boost for Fleetwood. Support for young people and families is more important than ever, and it is great to see funders backing the work of Fleetwood Town Community Trust. We congratulate the team and look forward to seeing the difference it makes.”
