Parkhead Youth Project (PYP) has served Parkhead for 30+ years, supporting 5-25 year olds and their families. PYP empowers young people to overcome poverty and isolation, build confidence, develop life skills, and achieve aspirations, delivering engaging, inclusive services, fostering partnerships, and ensuring organisational sustainability with youth at its core. Services include Youth Clubs (with homework support), Drama, Lifeskills, seasonal activities/trips, Forest School/Outdoor Play, Residentials, and a Youth Board. PYP builds youth skills for community involvement, addresses service gaps by working with families, promotes other local services, and hosts family activities/lunches to celebrate Parkhead's diverse community. The project, managed by a Project Manager and Board, boasts a skilled staff team, many of whom are former PYP service users, enhancing service delivery.

Objectives: The company’s objects are to promote the benefit of youth in the Parkhead and neighbouring areas of Glasgow and, in particular, to work with young people aged 5 to 25, and their families, in Parkhead and neighbouring areas, to support them to develop their skills, confidence and self-esteem, access a range of opportunities, broaden their horizons, widen their aspirations and fulfil their full potential.
