Housebuilders help Shropshire youth charity by becoming corporate sponsors

A youth charity in Shropshire has unveiled a major housebuilder as a new supporter - the first of its kind for a new corporate sponsorship scheme.

SYA - All About Youth provides activities and support for young people across Shropshire, relying on donations from people and businesses to continue its vital work.

The charity, located near The Lilies housing development, has announced Barratt Homes as its latest corporate sponsor, with the developer saying it was delighted to be able to help young people in Shropshire.

Adrian Evans, Managing Director at Barratt Homes, said: “We are very proud to support SYA - All About Youth and help it to continue to provide safe spaces for young people to have fun and express themselves.

“Its various youth clubs across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin help provide key spaces for young people to socialise, explore the activities they love and help move them towards a brighter future.

“We encourage anyone interested in the charity to see what they can do to support it.”

Richard Parkes, chief executive of SYA, said the charity was extremely grateful for the support of Barratt Homes.

“Like many services, central funding has virtually disappeared for youth provision so we are absolutely reliant on external support like this,” he said.

“We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Barratt Homes for becoming a corporate sponsor - their financial support will go directly to providing vital youth services across Shropshire.

“SYA provides a wide range of activities for young people - everything from weekly youth clubs to tailored mental health support - which really can transform lives.

“We are always looking for businesses to join us as sponsors, our range of sponsorship packages offers financial and in-kind ways to support young people which we hope will be suitable for a variety of people and businesses.

“Thank you once again to Barratt Homes who are the first business to join us under our new sponsorship scheme, helping us to continue our work to support young people.”
