Shaftesbury Youth Club (SYC) has been providing services to local young people & their families for over 130 years. It is the second oldest Youth Club in England, and its mission is to inspire young people to achieve their potential.
It is a purpose-built youth and community centre, open 7 days a week, that provides community and education programmes based around the following themes: sports participation, youth and community engagement, social education, health, and well-being, including emotional well-being. It sits on 14 acres of playing fields and in the main building, there are 3 classrooms, a media suite, a multi-purpose youth club area, a dance studio, a gymnasium with a boulder climbing wall and an art room.
Over the last 3 years, SYC has raised £300K to refurbish Sports Pavilion, this work has just started and is planned to open in March 2023 approx. As well as this, Football Foundation has agreed to install and fund a £750K fantastic new All Weather 3G Sports Pitch with Floodlights.
However, they have now started a CrowdFunder page, as project costs have increased and they need to raise another £20K to cover increased material costs. This has to be raised by the end of December 2022!
