Situation
Children and Young People continue to disproportionately suffer the combined impact of the pandemic, and the cost-of-living crisis. The pandemic severely impacted education, mental and physical health (1 in 6 children identified as having probable mental health condition in 2021). Time spent out of school has seen critical periods of social and skills development set back, with more support needed to build positive relationships.
Solution
Our full-time Employment/Wellbeing Support Workers add value across all programmes. Our Homework Club offer has developed, providing more in-person Academic Support for primary and secondary school children to help close the education gap. We have registered as an AQA provider, with children/young people able to access a wide range of accreditations. Our Football Academy, gym sessions and basketball sessions support physical health, and teach valuable resilience/team skills.
