CYP Now - #Chances4Children: Empowerment scheme helps support disadvantaged children back to school

A youth empowerment charity is providing one-to-one support to help disadvantaged young people get back to school following the coronavirus lockdown.

Young people have also been sharing their lockdown diaries. Picture: Power2/Twitter

Power2’s Power2 Rediscover programme is aimed at helping the most vulnerable children re-engage with learning following months of school closures which, research has shown, risks widening the attainment gap between wealthier and more disadvantaged students.

The 10-week intensive course will see young people already known to Power2 or referred by schools take part in coaching to help them catch up academically and work towards a positive transition out of lockdown.

We're living by Ashanti's new motto: "you gotta do what you gotta do to succeed"💪

We've received over 130 donations but we're determined to get even more to help young people get the support they need to succeed. @BigGive is still on til noon tomorrow! https://t.co/c2MOul1Q5O pic.twitter.com/nRYTu5csAw
