Welcome to the Spelthorne Youth Collective (YC) Project YC page. This is a space for you to find out more about the project and learn how you can get involved.
Project YC is open to any young person between the ages of 11 to 24 years old.
Members of Project YC are responsible for the design and delivery of creative activities and events in the new Library Hub, Staines-upon-Thames. Members can be involved in a particular project, or on an ongoing basis, all year round.
There are two age groups (11 to 15 years old and 16 to 24 years old) who meet at Ashford Youth Centre, Kenilworth Road, Ashford, TW15 3EL.
What have Project YC done so far?
In February 2025, Project YC took a fact-finding trip to London to visit the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum, Saatchi Gallery and Tate Modern. They helped to develop and took part in a “introduction to Screen Printing” drop-in workshop, which was attended by 40 members of the public. The group were also invited to visit Pinewood Film Studios, on the 28 February, for their Futures Festival, to learn more about careers in the creative industries.
Project YC are currently exploring the development of a fashion festival and film festival to take place in Staines-upon-Thames in 2026, amongst many new and upcoming ideas!
