On 4 July 2000, the Braunstone Community Association (BCA) was established by the Braunstone Partnership. This came as a result of government investment of £49.5 million into Braunstone, via the New Deal for Communities programme. In 2010, the Braunstone Community Association became a charity and changed its name to The Braunstone Foundation (b inspired).
This July marks the silver anniversary of the BCA (now b inspired) and commemorates 25 years of positive work for the benefit of the Braunstone community. In the lead up to this, we are doing lots of things to celebrate the successes of the last quarter of a century!
