A youth club manager who benefited herself from youth services as a child hopes to raise millions of pounds to sustain them in Bristol.
Charmaine Lawrence believes that through her innovative campaign, entitled ‘333’, she will be able to fill an funding shortfall by raising £3 million in three years. She claims that Bristol’s youth services have faced accumulative cuts totalling almost £3 million and could be cut even further.
The 38-year-old, who grew up in St Pauls, attended Full Circle youth club as a child before she began working there in 2012. Now that she is the Youth Development Manager at the youth charity, based at Docklands Community Centre, her focus is to sustain the youth services across Bristol currently that are under threat.
