The 21 schools forming Bbest Community Hub empowering young people to be their best selves through the medium of music and dance. An epic final performance captured on film for all to enjoy.
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
We will deliver an inspirational school-based project to empower the young people of the BBEST community to connect to their strongest self, know their value and live their best lives. To address the issues of youth crime that negatively effect the safety and futures of our young people - the key action is to empower children with a foundation of positive self-esteem alongside an understanding of how powerful their choices are. Embed these values of self awareness and community into young people in really fun and memorable ways. Documenting the journey of our young people as they experience new genres of music and dance. Young people will take part in videography workshops and experience the pre and post production. process before getting behind the camera as budding film producers. Workshops to be led by local award winning film production company, inspiring learners to follow their dreams and unlock the potential of their own hobbies and interests.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Deliver positive activities as a diversion away from crime, gangs, and violent offences. Music, song, dance and videography workshops delivered in schools, pupils will showcase their work to peers, parents and the public and take part in a professional recording studio experience. To increase resilience, motivation, and aspirations in young people by offering opportunities to learn new skills and work cohesively with peers across the school network. Young people will be empowered to make good choices, avoiding the negative effects of youth crime. Help young people to make positive choices to stay safe, inspiring them to grow their character, mindset and imagination - children are empowered to unleash their unique personalities and talents and are celebrated for doing so. Introduce opportunities for young people to find their voice through the power of music and the discipline of dance. Opening minds to what can be achieved through positive and cohesive work towards a common goal.

VolunteerBBEST Community Hub CIC is a collection of 21 schools in the Birstall and Batley area. Formed in 2019, the Hub facilitates the collaborative working of our network of nursery, primary and secondary settings. Located in a culturally diverse area of West Yorkshire we support the families of the 8000 children in our care through proactive initiatives, designed to enrich the lives of our pupils and improve quality of life in our surrounding communities.
The ethos of the approach from the school leaders at BBEST is about collective efficacy, and collaboration rather than competition. We have maintained schools, academies, a MAT and Pupil Referral Unit within our Hub – all of whom are working in partnership for a positive impact. The focus of everything we do is ensuring great outcomes, coupled with first-class care guidance and support for children, families, and the community overall.
Over 40% of the young people in our community come from the most deprived households in the UK. This means the work of the partnership is about setting these children and families up to succeed, raising aspirations, and tackling inequalities in health, pastoral, and academic support. In an area where third generation unemployment is high, domestic violence in households has increased massively during the pandemic and there are high levels of obesity and all the healthcare implications that accompany that, the Hub finds solutions for these problems, takes proactive action, and works collaboratively to raise the aspirations of the young people and families we serve, removing obstacles which prevent children from succeeding.
The BBEST Hub and our family of schools are at the heart of our community, we are driven by our key priorities:
Improving School Readiness and Attendance in our BBEST schools
Creating a Resilient Community by supporting /empowering our women and girls
Supporting Healthy Lifestyles
Supporting a Cohesive Community
Supporting our schools through teaching and learning projects
