KYP is a leading community/ volunteer organisation, which has been established for over 30 years. Our ethos is one of community empowerment, whether that is through enterprise, employment or training. And our motto is “Delivering to the community, by the community”. Being in the community for over 30 years we have extensive experience in recognizing and breaking down barriers to employment, enterprise and training - after all, our overarching aim is for the residents of Rochdale to be vibrant members of a thriving society. We are an independent charity dedicated to the development and economic regeneration of the local community. We moved all our operations to the state of the art Unique Enterprise Centre in November 2007, to provide an opportunity to those individuals who wish to develop and enhance their personal, learning and development skills. KYP maps service provision with a particular focus on the recruitment of individuals who, by life circumstances, inappropriate learning environments, delivery styles, low or no educational attainment, have not managed to achieve personal goals, training or sustainable employment.

A high quality training and personal development service is achieved by continuing investment in personnel representing the company, and by ensuring that the each individual undergoes a tailor made programme that will be continuously monitored and met through quality assurance processes already in place. We are an ISO, IIP, Positive about Disabled, and Community Legal Services registered organisation, we are also an approved C&G training centre.

We are dedicated to helping individuals obtain the services they require to meet and fulfil industry needs. We will offer a high level of practical experience, know-how, and a network of industry contacts, so clients gain the finest learning experience possible.

In line with our aims, we provide an on-site Day Nursery (Little Gems) as well as an Elders Day Care Centre, effectively removing two of the largest barriers to employment - Child care and Adult care.

For those seeking self-employment as an altenitive, KYP offers free business support services to residents of Rochdale and Oldham. The level of this support varies depending on client need.

If you'd like to know more about what we do, or how we can help you, please feel free to give us a call. or visit us at Unique Enterprise Centre on Belfield Road.
