Chilypep (formerly the Youth Empowerment Project) was established in North Sheffield in 2000 as part of the SRB and Objective 1 regeneration programme for Southey and Owlerton. We were part of North East Sheffield Trust, SPELL North East and The Healthy Cross Community Project, before becoming an independent organisation in 2005 and a registered Charity in 2006, changing our name to Children and Young People’s Empowerment Project.
