Before Christmas we visited Wanted Not Wasted on the Bournville Estate in Weston-super-Mare along with Helen Stevens and Matt Croughan from North Somerset Community Partnership. This project, set in the heart of the Bournville Estate, welcomes some of the area's most vulnerable children and young people and is just one of nine local community organisations to receive funding through the North Somerset Community Partnership Fund Grants programme.
