SNAPS community

SNAPS and TYLP are possibly the coolest organisations in the Wiltshire area so we've decided to link together just so we can create extra awesomeness.
TYLPbloggin' is the newest place for all SNAPS related news. You can also donate to the cause here and purchase yourself a SNAPS tee. (scroll to bottom of page).

For those of you that aren't familiar with SNAPS then have a little read below of an earlier post about SNAPS. Be sure to check out their website links

There have been so many occasions where I have heard people say things like "the youth of today wouldn't misbehave or hang around in big groups outside shops if they had somewhere to go". This is a statement that I myself, and I'm sure many others agree with, in the sense that if there were exciting places to hang out, exhilarating things to do, then maybe our youth would be a whole lot happier. I mean, we all tend to do random things when we are faced with utter boredom. So lets change that. Let's give young people more things to do. Lets create places where they actually would enjoy being. Let's create activities that they would actually like to take part in.
Which links me nicely to this..

Kieth Leahy, a man behind SNAPS (Swindon Needs A Proper Skatepark) is campaigning for a 'free to ride concrete paradise' in Swindon town.
The idea is to create a themed park based on the railways. Real rails for grinding, a platform, sleepers and so on. A really industrial but beautiful place to ride.

Imagine..
An exciting place where young people can go to express their culture, be themselves, socialise, and develop/learn skating skills.

Obviously this isn't going to solve every problem facing the youth, but it's definitely a great start! It's ideas like this that keep our communities thriving. When a group of people decide to make a change, and bring a positive new project to their home town. This is definitely one of those life changing projects, that will see a lot of youths much happier. This project has even been backed by superstar DJ Fatboy Slim when he performed at the Oasis Swindon.

Due to the current economic climate SNAPS cannot rely on donations from local sources such as Swindon Borough Council, so are aiming to raise funds themselves as well as applying for lottery grants and corporate sponsorship.

Encouraging Hobbies

I believe it’s important to encourage young people to further their hobbies because many things that start out as a little hobby can lead to a great future.

Take doodling for example-  Hello Kitty is a global brand, or Jon Burgerman-http://jonburgerman.com/ These artists can be found on wallpaper, stationary, trainers, you name it, the sky is the limit.

For me as a parent and a trustee for a youth charity, I really do see the importance of inspiring young artists to get creative and not feel discouraged because being creative isn't necessarily academic and most schools are driven by achieving in academia rather than in a creative discipline.
