Description

We are currently inviting applications from providers who are able to supply The GREAT Project with Childcare and Creche provision.

Voluntary Action LeicesterShire (VAL) is the lead for the Big Lottery Fund / ESF Building Better Opportunities 'In Support of Family Inclusion' in the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership area (http://www.llep.org.uk/).

This is part of the European Structural Investment Fund Thematic Objective 9 and the specification can be found here: https://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/global-content/programmes/england/building-better-opportunities/leicester-and-leicestershire.

The Getting Ready for Employment and Training (GREAT) Project is a free service designed to give members of families, who are not currently employed, the support they need to find work or training opportunities. The project has completed its initial 3 year phase and has been extended until the end of February 2022.

We are currently inviting applications from providers who are able to provide mobile, 'pop up' and flexible childcare and crèche provision to complement our programme of activities for Great Project Participants where childcare has been identified as a barrier.
