SYPC's 10th big Slough birthday bash
To celebrate ten years of success, Slough Young People’s Centre (SYPC), together with The Enterprise Centre, will be hosting their Big Birthday Bash on the 10th October, from 1pm to 4pm.
Since 1997, SYPC has provided information, advice, guidance, and free creative courses for 16 to 25 year olds across Slough and have had more than 65,000 attendances.
Its partner, the Enterprise Centre, provides employment advice, including help with CV writing and interview skills.
The Big Birthday Bash will see representatives from many local, regional and national organisations coming together, along with the young people who use the centre, to celebrate the fantastic work that has originated from SYPC.
The event will include performances from the centre’s Afterhours Arts Academy and a variety of workshops that will demonstrate some of the methods used by SYPC to engage young people in creativity.
Sascha White, project manger at SYPC, said: “We have reached a really important mile stone within SYPC’s history and it’s fantastic that the centre has supported so many of Slough’s young people in all sorts of projects.
“It is so important to have somewhere that the town’s young people can come to and learn new skills and gain confidence in their abilities.
“SYPC is a true success and the birthday celebrations will mark this brilliant anniversary perfectly.”
Commissioner for Slough young people’s services, Cllr Sean Wright, added: “I’d like to wish SYPC a very happy birthday after ten fantastic years, and to thank them for the grand job they have done over that time in working for the town’s young people.
“Our youth centres play a key role in achieving the council’s aim of delivering positive changes to the lives of young people, and SYPC has provided a haven for many of the town’s youngsters to learn skills, meet new people, and gain the confidence to carry on with higher education.
“My heartiest congratulations to everyone involved with the centre, and I hope the next ten years are every bit as successful.”
