CYP&F Consortium Covid-19 Response Project
The Children, Young People and Families Consortium was recently successful in being awarded £99,806 from the Coronavirus Community Support Fund, distributed by The National Lottery Community Fund.
The funding supported the delivery of a 6-month joint-consortia project comprising 9 of our member organisations offering a range of services in response to the impacts of COVID-19 on vulnerable people and communities in Rotherham. Our target audience were those who wish to return to a sense of normality by increasing accessibility and meaningful engagement, as well as those who were isolated and required additional support.
