    Situation

    Lack of opportunities and learning routes available to disadvantaged and rurally isolated young people. Typically young people from low income families growing up in rural areas miss out on valuable opportunities for education and development, this in turn limits their longer term life chances of escaping the poverty trap and reaching their full potential as individuals.

    Solution

    By identifying the gaps in provision and the needs of our young people locally. We will then address the situation by offering relevant volunteer and training opportunities and bridging the gap on to higher education and employment by forging links with local and national employers and centres of education.
