💛 WE NEED YOUR HELP TO SAVE OUR YOUTH CENTRE 💛
Over the past four months, the uncertainty surrounding the future of our building has meant that we have been unable to secure funding for KSYC. As things currently stand, without additional funding, we will be unable to continue operating beyond September.
In a last attempt to save the youth centre and continue supporting local children and families, we have established JMCH Group CIC, a new not-for-profit community organisation.
Unfortunately, we can no longer continue running the youth centre under its current structure, but we don't want KSYC to disappear. KSYC will remain KSYC, simply operating under the wider JMCH umbrella.
JMCH Group CIC will also bring together Reggie's Cause, Juvenis Books, support services, arts, culture, heritage projects, workshops, outreach activities, trips, and many other exciting opportunities for children, young people, and families.
The council has recently agreed to open up the building for community groups and organisations to bid on. This means that we now have to bid to keep the very building we have worked so hard to build a service within.
To give ourselves the best possible chance, we need the community behind us.
We need your support.
We need your feedback
We need your registration

And, more than ever, we need volunteers.
Even if we are successful in retaining the building, until we are able to secure further funding we simply will not be able to afford current staffing costs. To keep activities running, we will need people willing to give their time, skills, and support to help run sessions and assist with the day-to-day operation of the centre.
If KSYC has ever made a difference to your child, your family, or our community, now is the time to help.
Please complete a registration form for your child, share this post, tell others about what we are trying to achieve, and consider volunteering if you are able.
Together, we have built something incredibly special. With your support, we hope we can continue building it for future generations.
💛 Because every child deserves somewhere to belong.
