Good News! Conscious Youth CIC secures funding to support young people who don’t qualify for ‘free school meals.
Conscious Youth CIC Secures Funding from Feeding Britain to support their summer program.
Conscious Youth CIC is delighted to announce that it has been awarded funding from Feeding Britain to support its summer holiday program. This generous funding will enable Conscious Youth to offer free activities and nutritious meals to young people who do not qualify for ‘free school meals.
The summer holidays can be a challenging time for many families, especially those who do not qualify for free school meals but still struggle to afford additional expenses. Conscious Youth CIC has long been committed to providing enriching activities and meals to all young people, but financial constraints have often required the organisation to charge those who are not eligible for free school meals. This has been a point of concern for the team.
“As an open-access provision, it has been disheartening to have to charge young people who do not qualify. This hasn’t sat right with us, and this is the reason we applied to the charity Feeding Britain. The funding will allow us to remove these financial barriers, ensuring that more young people can take part in the summer program regardless of their family’s financial situation, said Sophie Simpson, Co-Founder and Director of Conscious Youth CIC.
The program will offer a range of engaging workshops designed to inspire and educate; music production, DJ’ing, arts and crafts, CV writing, make-up and lashes, gaming….
Places for the summer program are limited, and interested families are encouraged to apply early to secure a spot.
