Description

North Northamptonshire Council (NNC) has been granted £590000 through the UKSPF to deliver a range of new and exciting projects and activities aimed at improving literacy, numeracy, digital and green skills. The Authority is aiming to empower people through the experience - which should be positive, building self-esteem, as well as acting as a springboard for further development. Outdoor activities are welcomed, as are arts and health related offers.

Currently NNC is interested in potential provider suggestions particularly around experiential activities and new ways of engaging target populations. We are keen to use innovative approaches to maximise engagement and outcomes, and to embed literacy, numeracy, digital and green skills learning into projects which deliver additional benefits.

For NNC successful providers will be able to deliver exciting projects with less emphasis on classroom-based activity but more in daily personal and work life, being able to deliver at volume and at pace as well as demonstrating value for money.

We are interested in working with the VCSE sector as well as local employers to maximise reach to the priority groups.

UKSPF People and Skills will be delivered in 2024/25, commencing formally in April 2024 and ending at the end of March 2025.
