Neighbourhood Support Fund - Reach; Location: Sandwell
The Project: Based at the Tipton Young Asian Women's Forum, this is a network and support service that aims to raise the educational achievement of young people and increase their access to employment, training and education. Activities offered include one-to-one mentoring, study support, sporting and arts activities and volunteering opportunities. The project has also run "fun days" to increase community cohesion and diversity and develop young people's planning skills.
Young artists from the project have been awarded certificates of achievement for their artwork for hospital wards, commissioned to make patients from ethnic communities feel more at home.
