The Link Up Youth Hub is only possible thanks to partnership working with Havant Borough Council and the following organisations:
Department for Work and Pensions:
The Department for Work and Pensions has been a critical partner from the very outset of the project. It has heavily invested into the project, providing funds to maintain the Youth Hub as well as actively funding a member of staff to support the project. The investment highlights a commitment to proactively addressing known issues which act as barriers to future employment for young people.
Link Up Leigh Park:
This Havant-centric partnership is working with local schools, colleges and employers to address low education, training and employment outcomes for young people. With a focus on in-person support, it is proactive in reaching young people disconnected from work and supporting them in accessing training and education at a critical time in their lives.
The Health Foundation:
The Foundation’s Economies for Healthier Lives programme – which aims to strengthen the relationship between economic development and health – supports and funds the Link Up Leigh Park programme. Supporting local and regional partnerships across the UK, it focuses on promoting health and reducing health inequalities through economic development strategies.
