BACYP Clubs
At BACYP we believe that young people need places to go and have things to do.
We support this through our network of affiliated clubs, who are (by their nature) autonomous and responsive to the community needs.
We believe that young people can provide positive and constructive contributions to their community. The clubs are encouraged to include and involve the young people in the management and decision making of the group, to ensure that young people have a real say in the type of provision they require.
BACYP provides advice and guidance on the governance and administration of the youth club. We also represent the network through our two national organisations: UK Youth and Clubs for Young People.
Individual youth clubs are provided with the necessary policies and training is offered to cover the essential elements of running a club and ensuring that a safe, challenging and enjoyable programme is on offer to the young people.
In support of club development, we offer a quality assurance scheme known as AQYP, which is recognised by the National Youth Agency and the Department for Education and Skills. Through our national network, BACYP can support the club to develop annual programmes, which recognise and reward the performance, involvement and achievements of all the club members, at a range of levels to suit time ability and commitment.
BACYP is very proud of its proven track record of supporting clubs since the 1940’s. We exist to provide the best possible support for young people, club leaders and the community. All the BACYP services are here to help the clubs develop and through our Activity, Action and Training programmes we aspire to bring the service to your club.
