The SY-NC project aims to develop skills and capacity by bringing together and supporting Area Hubs in key areas of Sheffield.
Over the last three years the SYNC project has worked with four local hubs to coordinate activities to build lasting relationships and deliver youth-led community development, from developing initiatives such as youth-led community research, to establishing food buying cooperatives.
Phase 1 of the programme ran from November 2021-November 2025 and you can read about the impact of the hubs and the programme recommendations by downloading the evaluation for the SYNC website https://sy-nc.org.uk/
You can also sign up to the SYNC mailing list at the bottom of the page here to be kept informed about developments for phase 2 of the programme.
Increasing numbers of children, young people and families within our city are adversely affected by high poverty levels, serious violence, school exclusions, mental health issues, exploitation, and offending, driven by inequality in the city.
Given the scale and complexity of issues that young people are facing, there is a need and an opportunity to collaborate across both statutory and community partners to develop a shared purpose and approaches to working with young people in their communities.
