BiG Inspirations Online Project - Funded by the Government in Partnership with The National Lottery Community Fund

Thanks to Government funding, together with children and young people (CYP), BiG will be transferring tailored versions of some of its inspirational and motivational activities online and through creative ideas from CYP, introduce new activities for young people to engage in and enjoy online. This will include a tailored version of BiG’s popular SHOCK programme, it’s fun and development football activities and youth engagement, development and mentoring activities. 

“Those that know me know I LOVE talking lol. But on a serious note, It’s good to talk as it is good for your soul and therefore your emotional well-being. BUT when the platform is right!” So why not engage in one of the BiG Inspirations Online activities and talk openly and honestly about what matters to you in a relaxed environment, whilst experiencing joy engaging in fun games and interactive activities where you can also win some goodies!

Why register for any BiG Inspirations Online activity? 

There has been a lot going on in all of our lives in the last 6 months with the attack of Coronavirus, lockdown, social distancing and everything else connected to Covid-19 that has changed our world with massive impacts e.g. on relationships, friendships, education, employment, and our emotional well-being. Then there is the important introduction of black lives matter and the strong need for equalities. This all on top of the things that we were managing before!”
