60th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign

For 60 years, Portishead Youth and Community Centre has been at the heart of our community, providing a welcoming, inclusive space for children, young people, families and local residents of all ages. From youth activities to support for older people, PYCC has played a vital role in bringing people together, reducing isolation, building confidence and helping individuals thrive. We are committed to create an environment where everyone feels they belong - ensuring our activities and spaces are accessible, inclusive and responsive to the community we serve.

As we celebrate this important milestone, we are also looking ahead — committed to ensuring PYCC continues to support our community for many years to come.

Our 60th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign

PYCC is independently funded and relies on grants, donations, and the generosity of local people and businesses to keep our doors open. To mark our 60th anniversary, we are launching a fundraising campaign with a target of £15,000.

This campaign is not about one single project. It is about investing in our future and protecting and strengthening what PYCC offers, so it can continue to be a place of connection, support and possibility.

Why Your Support Matters

Your support will help us to:

Continue providing a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for everyone who relies on our centre;
Continue delivering inclusive, fun and engaging activities and opportunities;
Maintain and improve our facilities;
Respond to changing local needs;
Develop new activities and programmes that support wellbeing, confidence, connection, and participation across the community; and
Secure the long-term sustainability of PYCC for future generations

Every contribution, large or small, helps us build the next chapter of our story – whether that means supporting a young person to feel safe, have fun and build confidence, providing opportunities for families to connect, ensuring older people feel active and engaged, or supporting people with additional needs to learn new skills, enjoy activities and be part of community life like everyone else.
