02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
BEE – Brighter East End is set up to support children and young people in Easterhouse, particularly those affected by poverty, inequality and limited opportunities. Our aim is to improve confidence, wellbeing and future prospects by providing safe, inclusive and free youth work opportunities. We deliver weekly afterschool groups for primary-aged children, a youth group for secondary pupils, holiday programmes and community events. A key part of our work is our Young Volunteer Programme, where young people gain leadership experience, accredited awards and employability skills by supporting younger children and community activities. Our approach is relationship-based and youth-led, with young people actively shaping services through our Youth Committee. By offering positive role models, practical support and access to learning and leadership opportunities, we help children and young people build skills, resilience and a strong sense of belonging in their community.
