Brighton & Hove Legacy Fund funded the Crew Club with a grant of £4,100 in 2021. The Crew Club provides a weekly programme of free positive activities for children, young people, families and adults living on the Whitehawk estate in Brighton. Funding was for their young people’s groups (aged 13 to 18) and the sessions were coordinated to increase young people’s feelings of social connectedness, increase the number of healthy relationships in the lives of young people, and improve young people’s understanding of a range of issues that affect them (such as healthy relationships, coping with conflict, social media use, and dealing with difficult emotions).
