‘THE YOUTHY’

With cuts forcing the closure of many youth clubs across the country, voluntary organisation, The Young Life Project (TYLP) has announced plans that an interactive online based youth club will be launched in the spring.
With a launch date expected to be announced in early April, TYLP intend to make the most of the growing trend in interactive web-based services with the groundbreaking website aimed at 10-19 year olds – ‘The Youthy’.

‘restore the faith lost in young people’

The Youth Life Project aims to restore the faith lost in young people and equip them with the skills required to make positive life choices. Providing a service for young people in the region aged 10-19 to utilise, The Youth Life Project is born from the passion of its founder Danielle Brown for the care and well-being of young people.

‘Aiming to raise £2,000′

Since the foundation of TYLP, the momentum of support has been gathering pace as the organisation seeks to become an established charity in Swindon and the wider West Country. Aiming to raise £2,000 to get ‘The Youthy’ live, TYLP will be holding its first fundraising event in the spring.
“TYLP has grown from a seed in my mind and the feedback and support received has been so fruitful that we are looking to engage the youth sooner than had originally been anticipated” said TYLP founder Danielle Brown. “The operating costs to run a youth club are extremely high and even with the support gained so far this is currently an unsustainable venture.”
“Knowing some people may be reserved or shy about discussing things close to their heart, we are launching ‘The Youthy’ website to engage with the youth who have become more accustomed to being online than meeting like minded peers in youth clubs. Face to face contact in a youth club would be our preferred medium, but with the development and prevalence of internet based tools it would be silly to over look a medium which the youth are already comfortable with.”

Slang for youth club, ‘The Youthy’ is already a familiar term amongst the youth and has been adopted by TYLP as part of its branding.

“We hope the website is a hit amongst its target audience and reinforcing a sense of familiarity will be crucial to making the project a success in its early days.
