Youth Provision Meeting Details

[Simple Simon 36]

Shropshire Council

 

Youth Commissioning – Youth Activity Providers Event

 

5pm Tuesday 3^rd March, Council Chamber, Castle View, Oswestry

 

Shropshire Council will no longer deliver youth provision directly in the future. Instead, it will allocate funds through the Local Joint Committees to support youth activities and deliver the following outcomes:

 

• Ensure all children and young people are safe and well looked after in a supportive environment
• Narrow the achievement gap in education and work
• Ensure the emotional wellbeing of children and young people by focusing on prevention and early intervention
• Keep more children healthy and reduce health inequalities

 

Local LJC area’s also have local Outcomes that have come from the analysis of the local information. These will be shared at the event.

 

Funding for provision of youth activity has been allocated to LJC areas, using an index for specific youth-related need. Money is available to Oswestry Town, Gobowen, Selattyn & Weston Rhyn and Oswestry Rural LJC’s.

 

As an interested party and a current deliverer of youth provision in Oswestry & District/Shropshire, we would like to invite you to attend a Providers Event. The event will take place at 5:00pm on Tuesday 3^rd March in the Council Chamber, Castle View, Oswestry, SY11 1JR.

 

The aim of the event is to ensure that local Councillors gain a greater understanding of the providers available in Oswestry & District/Shropshire, who can deliver high quality youth provision and build sustainable capacity in the community for future activities.

 

You will have the opportunity to contribute your knowledge in order to help shape the development of future youth activities. You will also be updated on what funding is available, and the timetable for youth commissioning in the Oswestry LJC’s.
