SYCT Streatham Youth and Community Trust was established in 1946 to meet the needs of local young people. This remains at the heart of what we do, over 60 years later. We deliver a wide range of activities, projects and services which all in some way work towards reducing social isolation, increasing confidence, developing skills, nurturing friendships and supportive relationships and bringing the
community together. We provide high quality play and youth services from three locations in Streatham and support other local groups and organisations through the provision of high quality facilities.

STAY & PLAY (ONE O’CLOCK CLUB)
The Club is for Parents/Carers and children ages 0-5 years old and is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday 12-3pm. John Massingham, new manager of both the Adventure Playground and One O'clock Club said: 'we are delighted to offer this service to local families. It is up and running and already parents and children are dropping by. The building is completely refurbished.'
ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND
The service will run alongside the longstanding Adventure Playground, which runs Monday, Wednesday 3:30-6:30pm and Saturday 12-4pm. The provision is part of Lambeth Council's Cooperative Youth and Play Provision Phase 2. With low levels of provision in Streatham South Ward, both the Adventure Playground and One O'clock Club are a real asset to the area.
