How to win: Youth Engagement Programme

About this contract

Abri are seeking to commission high quality youth engagement services in each of its South, South-East, and South-West regions and potentially in London. The programme is intended to provide structured, safe and including opportunities for young people aged 13-18, supporting them to improve well-being, build life skills and enhance their future employability. The programme will act as a diversion away from negative influences and behaviours. Priority will be given to the provision services in our Community Investment Zones (Community Investment), and communities with levels of Abri housing stock linked to higher levels of demonstrable need.
