Also check out The Youth Life Project's review of last years event-

8/9/2012

What an amazing event The Reggae Garden Festival turned out to be. The music was amazing, the venue was perfect, the sun was shining, and the atmosphere was friendly with a contagious vibe that everyone caught on to. 'One Love' was definitely the theme throughout the day as people danced, Jamaican  flags were waved, and almost all sung along and got involved with the performances. It really was one big happy family.

Another factor that made an excellent event was that it was very family orientated with a bouncy castle for the children as well as face-painting, nail art, and hair braiding provided by The Youth Life Project. It was a joy to see so many smiling faces and happy children having fun and getting involved.

The success of last years event and the fact that this years topped it by miles, has left everyone excited for what's in store next year!

It was a massive turn out and everyone had amazing time. Events like these that show of Swindon's diversity are second to none and are much needed as well as enjoyed.

Congratulations to AJ and Bully who organised this event, you've done Swindon proud!

Here are a few pics of the day for those unfortunate souls that didn't attend..

TYLP..Let's build a brighter future for our youth!!

Mission Statement

The purpose of The Youth Life project is to provide support and guidance to young people, empowering them to reach their full potential by building a better and brighter future, not only for themselves but for the next generation of youth, creating future community leaders and role models. We call this a 'spiral of inspiration'.

We equip young people with the skills required to make positive life choices and support them in their growth and development.

The Youth Life Project is centered around the voice of the youth, therefore being the charity they want and need us to be.

Original Press Release

Swindon, November 2011 - The Youth Life Project charity has been launched in response to the media scrutiny of the youth following the August riots of 2011 to communicate the thoughts, feelings and concerns of the unheard youth.

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. 

The Youth Life Project Founder Danielle, 27, has extensive experience in the charity arena working on a voluntary basis with children of all ages in youth centres and youth groups. As a keen organiser of fundraising events, creating a charity close to her heart was always going to be Danielle’s next step.

“Building a better and brighter future for the next generation of young people was the driving force behind taking my passion of charity work to the next level”, said Danielle. “Young carers, parents and the vulnerable are all in need of a voice that will speak up for them and this is what we strive to do at The Youth Life Project. We need to hear more about the positive things the young people are doing“

“We are committed to providing help and support for young people, to help them reach their full potential. These young adults are in great need of inspirational role-models and at The Youth Life Project we intend to support their development to become upstanding citizens and role models. “I remain a huge believer in community spirit and embracing that spirit with the youth. It is important that we ensure youth feel a sense of belonging and consider themselves key stakeholders in their communities in order for them to be the best that they can be.”

Danielle Brown is seeking further funding to support The Youth Life Project, if you are interested in supporting the project please email youthlifeproject@gmail.com
