The City Bridge Trust has awarded £108,500 over three years to charity School-Home Support to fund a dedicated support role at its alternative provision school the Wize-Up Academy in Lewisham.
Up to 18 academy pupils each year will receive tailored, intensive mental health support from a dedicated support worker whose aim it will be to help the young people transition back into mainstream settings if possible.
The grant, which will fund the new role in the alternative provision school, which caters for up to 40 young people, will also support access to those mainstream services and build positive relationships between services and young people and their families.
