SYTG PA has now closed, Thanks for all your support over the years but due to increasing costs, lack of volunteers and little to no assistance from the local theatres and council we have had to bring the final curtain down. Past members why don't you send us your memories to keep SYTG PA alive in our hearts! Wishing you well! thanks, TTFN SYTG PA

SYTG PA Quiz Night

A big thank you to everyone who attended the SYTG Quiz night this June. This was a great mix of entertainment provided by our young performers and intellectual challenges presented by Steve.

Despite some of the "less young" people complaining that the music round was too modern for them -

it was 2 minutes into the round before I realised that there was more than one song!

Everyone had a fantastic time - who could forget the Doctor, Doctor jokes!!!
We have also managed to raise over £300 for charity - Top Job!
thanks again for your support!

SYTG PA - Achieves Investing in Children Status

SYTG PA is proud to announce that after several months of assessment we have achieved the

Investing in Children Status. This award indicates that we put the young people of our group first and continue to develop based on their opinions and needs.

For more infromation about this award click here.

What is Investing in Children?

Investing in Children is an organisation concerned with the human rights of children and young people. This means asking questions about the way children and young people are treated in society. Where it is clear that the rights of children and young people are being

ignored, Investing in Children works to support children and young people themselves, and adults, to challenge and change situations.

Where did Investing in Children come from?

In 1995, a group of senior managers of public services in County Durham got together to discuss finding a new way to provide services to children, young people and their families. They were worried about a number of things. There was a very negative image of children and young people in the media - they were most often presented as a 'problem' for adults to manage. The various agencies which provide services to children and young people worked separately, when it would be more sensible if they could work together. Some children and young people were being left out, despite efforts to include everyone. And, most importantly, we weren't paying enough attention to what children and young people themselves had to say about things. The outcome of these discussions was the Investing in Children Statement of Intent. The aim is for groups to allow members to have a say in improving and creating opportunities for their futures.

Way back in February of this year Bernie Stock from Investing in children made several visits to SYTG. His job was to decide weather we would qualify for membership to this scheme.

He looked at our work and talked with members and committee representatives. Following this he sent us a written evaluation of his opinions of our organisation. Having read this we decided that it was a fair and accurate account of what we do and what we are all about. Bernie then recommended that we should be awarded membership.


We have now been awarded this status and will be able to use the recognised logo on our website and correspondence.


We hope to have a presentation of the official certificate in the near future.
