As summer flies by, we are still including activities for children and young people to keep busy and have fun. Activities and spaces have been harder to come by this year, so we still urge those who are running activities and schemes and are open for registration to let us know and we can share this valuable information.

We have the usual range of information and opportunities including resources, training, funding opportunities and more. Please make sure you share this with your families/clients, colleagues and contacts.

Next edition is 24th August, so send us your flyers for then!

Network Personnel GROW Programme

Posted on by

Our GROW Partnership programme aims to achieve the following for our participants through a suite of holistic interventions:

  • Improve life chances through basic and life skills 
  • Engage with local services and mainstream provision
  • Overcome barriers to work

GROW will provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ to address/remove health, wellbeing and other significant barriers to sustainable employment, in a regionally sensitive manner. It will provide ‘small steps’ and ‘manageable’ holistic activities, rather than daunting ‘fast-track to work’ approaches to its target cohorts.
