Complaints Procedure

We have just published a new document giving details of how to lodge a complaint about CYP or any of our services and detailing the procedures involved in processing any complaints we receive.

 

Mystery solved!

Those of you who remember our appeal for someone to identify the faces in the mystery film we unearthed some time ago will be interested to hear that we have had an email from an ex-member Gary Dempsey from way back giving us all the details we were looking for!

Great stuff, Gary - thank you very much!

 

Summer outings

We now have some great pics for you from CYP's various outings this summer, such as The Banana Club enjoying Gorgie City Farm, The Tuesday Club's visit Strathclyde Country Park, The Thursday Club's water sports at Lochearnhead and the Primary 7s' expedition to Mull!

The Southsider

Some bad news but lots of good news from CYP's Summer 2009 contribution to The Southsider which you can read here. Also, warm congratulations to The Southsider from all of us at CYP on their 50th edition!

 

Calling all budding musicians!

The CYP Music Club, which takes place every Monday evening between 6.45pm and 8.45pm (apart from school holidays and public holidays) would like to extend a welcome to anyone aged between 12 and 17 who has an interest in developing skills in drum kit, guitar, bass, singing and songwriting.

As well as these opportunities there is also the chance to access our professional standard recording studio (with the support of our recording engineer). You then have the option, if you want, to showcase your best tracks on this website and give your new musical career a boost!

The club costs 50p a week and is open to all 12 to 17 year olds living in our South Central Edinburgh catchment area. For further details contact Stevie Palmer (Project Worker) at CYP on: 556-9719

 

Living Memories

Two CYP members, Debbie Ramsay and Debbie Smith, who are trainees in CYP's Get Ready for Work programme have recently been featured in The Southsider because of their involvement in a project with Edinburgh's Living Memory Association.

This article details how they designed their project and the poster they produced on completion of the project highlights some of the differences between life in Edinburgh now and in "the olden days!"

Stuart Mair - Youth Services Manager of the Year 2008!

Stuart Mair

Undoubtedly the highlight of the Project year so far was our Project Co-ordinator, Stuart Mair being nominated for and winning the Scottish Voluntary Organisation’s Youth Services Manager of the Year award. His citation recognised the Project’s 30th anniversary and the fact that over 1200 volunteers have passed through CYP during that time.

On behalf of all the paid staff, volunteers, kids, parents and carers with links to the Project, well done Stuart and congratulations!!!
