Big Lottery

BASIS has been awarded a grant of £139,107 from the Big Lottery Young People's Fund to further develop its programme and provide artist-led workshops for four groups of young people from Barrhead and Neilston during 2008-2010.

The Young People's Fund in Scotland is a £20 million grant programme to help young people aged 11-25 learn new things and take part in healthy and positive activities that make them feel good about themselves.

An exhibition showcasing the outcomes from the workshops will take place at Eastwood Park Theatre on 14 June 2009.

An exhibition showcasing the outcomes from the workshops will take place at Eastwood Park Theatre on 14 June 2009.
