## Description

There has been a long-term decline in NEET provision across the county\. In Autumn 2021, Reconnect provided some funding to deliver re-engagement provision in areas, where provision was particularly lacking\. Despite new provision being launched in the county, the NEET Support Service have identified 4 areas where there is urgent need for provision: • Thanet • Swale • Maidstone • Gravesend The Covid-19 pandemic has led to many students becoming very disengaged from education and continue to struggle to access services and education\. A high number are experiencing mental health problems\. We are looking for projects to re-engage these young people\. These should offer: • Activities that will bridge the gap back into mainstream education and services\. • Activities should be needs lead based on an initial assessment\. • Motivational/confidence building support • Employability/Soft skills development • Mentoring/personal support • Maths and English where required - a recognised qualification such as functional skills\. • Work Experience/community activities/general positive activities • Support for those experiencing mental health issues\. This is an indicative list, and we are open to other offers if the bidder can demonstrate they are effective in re-engaging NEET young people\. Delivery should primarily be face to face for this client group\.
