We are looking for help with funding to help with the start up costs with this much needed project.
DES will be an Alternative Provision helped to support the most vulnerable youths and families within our community. This will firstly target youths out of education vulnerable to grooming and county lines. The Learning Mentors will be able to offer family support alongside trade and life skills and functional Maths and English skills. This can also be offered to parents/carers too if needed. This will also be a safe space for any youth to be able to get any support and therapy/counselling if needed from highly skilled and qualified mentors and counsellors. DES will work closely with the police, schools and Local Authorities to target those students that need support the most.
DES will also offer funding and in school intervention support for any student that is vulnerable and needs early intervention support. With donations and funding, DES will be able to help with the financial strain on schools for specific interventions that are needed and 1:1 support from highly trained Learning Mentors.
