My Place Funding
The Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) announced the new My Place funding in April this year. Locally and nationally there has been lots of interest in the potential for this funding. However, the criteria and limitations of actual funding to the East Midlands area mean we need to give careful consideration to putting forward the most likely application to be approved, so that young people in the city do not miss out.
Targeted Services 14 -19 is facilitating a stakeholder event on Friday 11 July 10.00am - 12.00 noon at the Robin Hood Suite, Nottingham Forest Football Club, Pavillion Road, NG2 5FJ to bring together partners to explore the potential for a one-city proposal. Please confirm your place using the form here.

They want to hear from people who work with children and young people on a paid or voluntary basis or from groups of children and young people who use these services and are being supported by a paid worker or volunteer. Interested? Read on.
