Awarded for Quality Assurance: ‘Silver Charter Mark’ & ‘Bronze Quality In Support Study’ ‘Improving the Quality of Life in Northamptonshire’
Dear Member,
As a result of the very hard work done by children, young people,
volunteers and staff, we are delighted to announce that SCCYC has been awarded the
‘Silver Charter Mark’ by Northamptonshire County Council’s ‘Children & Young
Peoples Services’! The award is in recognition of involving children & young people
effectively in the Youth Club and providing them with quality services. Well done to
everyone involved in this great accomplishment!
This summer saw over 45 youngsters take part in a host of heritage, educational and
fun activities. A Special Summer Club Newsletter will be published in the New Year!
The Carnival Workshops resulted in the club gaining ’Runner-Up for the most
creative Safari themed float’! The youth club have also been very pro-active in plan-
ning new services such as a football club, outings, careers workshops as well as
getting involved in their ‘Punjabi Pride’ heritage project. We would like to invite you
to a free Punjabi Heritage Diwali Event at Northampton Museum on Saturday 2nd
November for a taster of Punjabi culture by young people from SCCYC & NMAG.
The ‘Womens Empowerment Project’ is also gathering speed with a host of
creative, wellbeing and educational activities on offer at a Women’s Open Evening on
Sunday 10th November, 11am to 4pm at SGSS Gurdwara/SCCYC, come along!
Have a Happy Diwali-Bandi Chhor Deevas!

COMMUNITY MEMBERS RAISE THOUSANDS OF POUNDS FOR CHARITIES! Community of all ages planned and took part in a variety of fundraisers this Summer! Some of the success stories:
BUNJEE JUMP — 3 very brave young girls bungee jumped 160 feet onto Windsor Bray Lake to raise

love to do it again. Thank you to everyone that sponsored us!”, Jessica, Jaskaran and Amrinda.
FOOTBALL FUNDRAISER — Once again men from diverse communities and towns came together for
a five-a-side football tournament on 22nd September and raised a large amount of funds for the
Community Building Project! Thank you for your continued support!
HALF MARATHON WALK — Well done to all of the ladies that walked the night time half marathon in
London to raise funds for ‘Cancer Research’ and thank you to everyone that supported the cause!
SCCYC GAINED ‘RUNNER UP’ AT NORTHAMPTON CARNVIAL! Once again,
