ACTION
Social integration charity The Challenge has created a character development programme that is helping young people at risk of dropping out of education to get back on track.
Recognising that young people at risk of becoming not in education, employment or training (Neet) sometimes lack resilience and confidence, the charity decided to pilot an adapted version of its personal development programme HeadStart with this group.
HeadStart Action ran across three schools in Southwark over a 16-week period in 2018 with around 90 pupils. The programme has since been expanded to incorporate 425 pupils enrolled at schools and colleges across Newham, Hackney, Haringey and Westminster.
