INTRODUCTION

Bugs2Butterflies Youth Club was set up in 2012 but had been running before

that under other names. We want to provide recreational, educational and

leisure opportunities to children and young people aged 5 – 16 years, living

primarily in the Revoe area of Blackpool.

Julie and Colin Bascombe formed the club in direct response to community

needs and concerns of anti social behaviour.

We passionately believe that in inspiring children to share, play, work together

and experience the wider outside world and a “better way” that we will reduce

crime and give the area’s children chance to develop skills and capability to be

good citizens and mature in to responsible adults. Through inspiring children

in this way we believe we make a real difference and reduce crime and anti

social behaviour.

Since starting, B2B has gone from strength to strength and we now hold events

thee nights a week in term time as well as an extensive schedule including

exciting trips and innovative visits.

In the school holidays we have held events around the community including

very successful events held up to three nights a week on Revoe Park supported

by National Lottery funding. These events have been attended by hundreds of

local children.
