Recover + Reconnect - helping children get back on track

In 2021 our Recover + Reconnect: Summer Youth Programme reached 2,000 children and young people from all over the borough, helping them to rebuild confidence, resilience and social skills after a year of successive lockdowns. 

This was only possible thanks to our donors support and our partnership with The Kusuma Trust, which collectively raised £164,000 for summery holiday activities.
