 Swindon, May 2012 – Following the launch of The Youth Life Project (TYLP) in October 2011, the registered charity has recently held its first fundraising event taking place in Swindon over the spring. In a bid to raise £2,000 for the charity over a number of events this spring, the fundraiser marked the first landmark event since the formation of The Youth Life Project.


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 event held at The Running Horse Pub on Wooton Bassett Road, Swindon on Monday 7th May successfully raised over £350 for the charity. On what started as a day with heavy rainfall eventually panned out to be a fun day for all the family, the sun also came out in attendance to mark a memorable day for The Youth Life Project team.


"I am delighted the event went so well" said TYLP founder Danielle Brown. "We were encouraged by the amount of visitors who attended and the feedback from parents was amazing. The best part was seeing the children having a fun on the day as we were a little worried about the weather to begin with. The day was certainly a hit with everyone who enjoyed the activities on offer such as the bouncy castle and Zumba lessons. We even had a karaoke and a disco. It was amazing to see the kids with their faces painted and hair braided in TYLP colours"


"We really did have something suitable for every age group and this will be the platform for more fundraising events for the community to get involved with. The aim of the fundraising events is to raise money for our online youth club 'The Youthy' which we hope will be an even bigger hit for the community.


"We have a number of bigger, more exciting events in the works and will be announcing a date for The Youth Life Project’s official launch party shortly, which will be held late summer 2012. TYLP has come a long way since our formation and we will continue to strive to bring a better tomorrow for our youth," concluded Danielle.

The Youth Life Project develop interactive youth club

‘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.
