We're celebrating Bronze!

We are delighted to announce that Sycamore Trust UK has been recognised by London Youth with the award of the Bronze Quality Mark. The Quality Mark is London Youth’s flagship Quality Assurance programme. It provides organisations with a badge of excellence and is accepted by local authorities and funders.

We were assessed against several criteria, including safeguarding, diversity and inclusion, health and safety, outcomes for young people, partnerships, leadership, and more. The Quality Mark has been developed specifically for youth organisations and uniquely involves young people in the process. It is also the only quality assurance scheme for youth organisations that is accredited by City & Guilds.

We’re really pleased to achieve the Quality Mark, which we’ve been working towards for several months. It’s considered to be a mark of excellence that celebrates and recognises quality youth work.

Sycamore Operations Manager Lynn Chapman said;

      “The welfare, education and development of young people is central to everything we do at Sycamore Trust UK.” She continued; “The Bronze award reflects our commitment to support young people and families, educate the community and empower members of the autistic community to flourish. We are proud that our efforts on behalf of those families and individuals for who Autism is part of daily life have been acknowledged in this fashion.”
