SCCYC is an established, innovative, organisation that provides quality services to local and BAME communities of Northamptonshire. SCCYC has been recognised for its significant voluntary contribution through receiving the ‘Queens Award for Voluntary Service in 2020 – MBE for Voluntary Groups’.
Formed in 1996, we serve the residents of Northamptonshire, with particular focus on the inner Town Centre, St James, and Castle Wards, as well as the Sikh Community and BAME communities of Northamptonshire. Most of our beneficiaries reside in the lowest 1%-10% indices of multiple deprivation in the town that suffer from poverty, health inequalities, migration challenges, and cultural inequalities.
The Waterside-Connect Centre is an innovative multifunctional hub, based in the heart of Northampton’s Enterprise Zone. The newly built Centre boasts modern facilities for training, business, and enterprise, with rooms available to hire for conferences, meetings, events, and exhibitions. It is also the home of our inhouse catering enterprise, Punjabi Fusion CIC. All profits made are put into supporting social impact services for those most vulnerable in Northampton town.
