Sacriston Youth Project

Sacriston Youth Project (SYP) is a community-based youth charity supporting children and young people in Sacriston and surrounding communities across County Durham. Originally established as a Durham County Council youth project, SYP became an independent charity in 2016 following the closure of local authority-run youth clubs. Since then, we have grown into a thriving organisation providing safe spaces, trusted relationships and meaningful opportunities for young people.
