In August 2014 BCFG was successful in securing £10,000 from the Big Lottery, Awards For All scheme towards expanding it’s ‘Willowisp’ children’s area and to provide free arts and crafts activities at other local community events in the area.
The numbers of children taking part in the Festival is increasing year on year due to the growing population of young families in Brighton and Hove.

‘Willowisp’ provides a space for parents, carers and toddlers to play, be creative, have fun together, meet other families and socialise in a safe, well supervised and stimulating environment.
Funding will go towards buying a beautiful Indian festival marquee as well as new books, toys and arts materials.
