Bury VCFA celebrates National Lottery funding to empower local VCSE groups and support young people in Bury

Bury Voluntary, Community and Faith Alliance (Bury VCFA) is celebrating after being awarded over £250,000 in National Lottery funding to strengthen the voice, capacity and influence of voluntary sector organisations working with children and young people across Bury.

The funding, awarded by The National Lottery Community Fund, will support a three-year programme launching in January 2026. The project will be led by a soon to be advertised Children and Young People Development Officer, supported by Bury VCFA’s wider team.
