Youth clubs in Wiltshire could win a share of £1m thanks to a major scheme launched today by a leading housebuilder.
Persimmon Homes launch its national Building Futures programme in partnership with Team GB.
The scheme is aimed solely at community projects for under-18s and targeted at sports or community groups dealing with physical and mental health issues and awareness, as well as arts and education or art projects.
Children were treated to a sparring session with London 2012 Olympic bronze medallist Anthony Ogogo as part of the Team GB link-up. He said: “Building Futures can change thousands of kids’ lives and that gets a massive thank you from me.”
