Swindon, June 2012 - With cuts across the youth sector threatening the closure of many youth clubs in Swindon, voluntary organisation The Youth Life Project have announced a refocused approach to their short term objectives to reflect the needs of the community and the young people that live in the region by launching the ‘Save Swindon’s Youth Sector’ campaign in August 2012.
Following extensive networking and feedback from youth groups across the Swindon area TYLP will be offering flexible support to other youth organisations and establishing partnerships through the ‘Save Swindon’s Youth Sector’ campaign at a time when budget cuts and lack of resources threaten the sector. By working together with Swindon’s youth groups, TYLP are aiming to help sustain the youth services sector in times of financial austerity.
“From the conversations we have engaged in with youth organisations we understand that currently Swindon doesn’t need another youth club, which is what our long term goal was, instead it needs help supporting and building on what’s already here.” said TYLP founder Danielle Brown. “Many youth groups have expressed real concerns that the cuts being made across the youth charity sector would be detrimental to the great work already being put in.”
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.
“Acting as guardian angels of Swindon’s youth services, we will be working hard to alleviate some of the pressure youth organisations are currently experiencing with budgets and financial support shrinking year on year. By working alongside the many youth groups already existing in Swindon we aim to offer support in whatever way is needed including fundraising to help organisations provide services that are key to engaging the youth.”
An aspect of support The Youth Life Project will be offering to youth groups includes work-shops in beauty, music, street art and sports. In addition crucial awareness and life skills classes will be provided to help youngsters in areas such as budgeting and building self-esteem.
“We will launch the ‘Save Swindon’s Youth Sector’ campaign at the ‘SN1Fest Summer Ball: In Association with the Youth Life Project’. Monies raised from the event will go towards TYLP’S sister project ‘The Youthy...The interactive Youth Club’ which we will continue to make a priority throughout the summer alongside the SSYS campaign.” concluded Danielle Brown.
