SOMERSET COUNCIL

We are proud to work with Somerset Council to support children and young people through SYT’s pathways work. In September 2024 SYT launched the very first pre-supported internship in the creative industries in the county, running with great success for a year, this work could not happen without the support of Somerset Council.

SOMERSET COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

SYT is forever grateful for the support of Somerset Community Foundation in matching us with grants that benefit our communities and make social change where it’s most needed.

SASP

We are proud partners of Somerset Activity Sports Partnership, working together to deliver the Happy Healthy Holidays program for children and young people from lower socio economic families, providing fun, accessible, active Play in a Week activities that gets the heart pumping and the mind thumping.

SEED SEDGMOOR

As the first funders of SYT, Seed Sedgmoor, an ACE creative people and places organisation hold a very special place in our SYT heart! Without Seed, SYT would not exist and we are forever grateful for the growing relationship that builds between them. With a specific lens on children and young people, we join them in their mission that by 2030, everyone living or working in Sedgemoor has new and accessible opportunities to engage with, participate in and appreciate creative arts, heritage and culture in all its many forms, and many more people take advantage of those opportunities.

TOWN COUNCILS & LOCAL AUTHORITIES

Without the support of town and parish councils, we would be unable to reach local, rural and semi rural communities we embrace ongoing dialogue with town and parish councils, reframing ways we recognise the needs and behaviours of children and young people; working together to respond to the needs of our communities and make villages and towns of Somerset a place to thrive.
