SYAC - coming back to the community
by Gaby Spinks, Andrew Green and Martin Currie

SYAC (South Yorkshire African Caribbean Business and Enterprise Training Centre) is a busy set of workshops and offices that has hosted many community organisations and businesses since 1991.

Started due to the feeling that ethnic minorities were not being given the same opportunities as other community groups, in 1994 it went into receivership and the management of the Centre was taken over by Sheffield City Council. This crisis is long past and it is now time for the community to take the reins back. A public meeting is being organised at SADACCA to discuss these options and to build a new management team.

SYAC manages the office and workshop space for all the organisations featured as well as running business advice and training sessions.

Please call the business development manager Bernadette Grocock for information on becoming involved with the new management team, or help and advice with running your own business.
