Story

Inspired by Adam Hill from the Last Leg and his Brexit beard, Lakshan is growing his facial hair until we come out of lock down. He is raising money for the award winning youth centre. The  local church had planned events during Lent to raise money, due to the current crisis these have not yet happened. So to turn lock down into a positive experience and use the time effectively to support this worthy cause, Lakshan is braving the beard.

About the charity

East Side Youth Club

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1147968
East Side Youth Centre has been situated on Hatters Lane, High Wycombe, since 1965. It provides support for the young people of East Wycombe. It is a place that encourages, inspires and supports personal development, we raise awareness of young people's rights and responsibilities not only to themselves but to the wider community. We offer a meeting place for other charities who use the centre when the youth club is not meeting. These include Bucks Young Carers and Wycombe Youth Action. East Side Youth club is currently open on a Wednesday and Friday evening term time, with plans for an additional evening on a Monday for younger children. In 2020 we face a financial short fall of five thousand pounds as County Council funding stopped in 2012 leaving funds to run the centre for 5 years. The funds have been well managed and with other grants 7 years on, we need to raise funds to ensure we can keep the doors open.
