New! Children's Fund Plan 2006-08

The Children's Fund is a government funded initiative aimed at providing a flexible approach to meeting the needs of five to thirteen year olds. The fund aims to develop and maintain links between all services that work with children and young people.

The work of the Children's Fund forms part of the local preventative strategy. Children's Fund projects aim to prevent children and young people experiencing negative outcomes such as being excluded from schools or becoming involved in crime.

The intended outcomes of the fund are, improved educational performance, reduction in youth crime and conviction, improvements in health and social care, move involvement of users in service delivery and more use of existing services by excluded groups.

In Tameside we cover four main themes delivered by over thirty different projects

Learning

Health and Happiness

Safety and Well being

Services for All

We also work with children and young people to encourage their participation in all that we do.
