Welcome to the busy project

CORONA-VIRUS UPDATE: We're very sorry to say that all our BUSY Project groups, including Pizza Wednesday, Engage, Rooted SU Group and Youth Club are all cancelled until further notice.
​We're working on plans to be able to offer young people support through online platforms in the weeks ahead, so that we can stay in contact and encourage each other! 
WHAT IS THE BUSY PROJECT? 

The BUSY Project has been doing youth work for 12 years in the Uphall and Broxburn area of West-Lothian. 

The BUSY Project aims to provide a safe and inclusive place where teenagers can be playful, serious, and honest about who they are and where they are at. They make friends; they are given a voice and a chance to lead. We believe that God loves young people even more than we do, so we love talking, sharing and demonstrating faith together. We aren't just one person; we're a community here to serve God and others. 

​We offer a whole range of activities, events, groups and programmes for young people between the ages of 10 and 18 in the local community, schools and churches. We deliver  different youth groups, each meeting a variety of needs and interests in the young people in our area. We have a Young Leadership stream which enables young people to engage with the planning and delivery of activities.  Over the big holidays we run a 'BUZZ,' with a full rota of trips and events. And twice a year we take young people on residential activity holidays with Scripture Union Scotland (https://www.suholidays.org.uk/ )

The Project is owned by the local community, and run by a team of volunteers some of whom form our Management Group. The BUSY Project is funded by the local community, local churches.

​The BUSY Project is an initiative of the BASICS TRUST (SCO26791) in partnership with SU Scotland and local churches.

Good youth work can change a life. But the Gospel can change an eternity. We are doing both here, and we need a little help. If you are able to give just £10 a month, we will be able to maintain and increase the youth work available within the community.
