What’s Happening

Since the Youth Hub Hull’s virtual launch the hub team and core partners have been busy implementing a marketing plan to promote the new, one-stop-shop to help 16-29 year olds back into work following the COVID-19 outbreak.

ENVIRO-HUB: Participant James shares his story into work during lockdown…

From 8th March, post 16 provision has been able to return to face to face delivery, in spite of the fact that the staff and learner testing arrangements for the Independent Learning Sector will not be in place till April. Given that testing is seen as key to the effective and safe return of learners to schools and colleges, this is clearly not the best piece of Government planning you’ll ever see!

Further to the Government announcement on 22nd February, the post 16 education guidance has been updated to confirm that education providers can open face to face from 8th March, particularly for age 16 to 19 students.

HLC are now currently accepting electronic applications for Community Grants Round 4! A full assessment and formal negotiations on contract start dates and approval of award will be discussed upon our return to the office.

As you will probably know by now, the Government have moved the potential re-opening of post-16 face-to-face delivery from just after February half term, to the 8th March.

HLC would like to thank everyone that applied to Community Grants 5 round 4. We received many interesting applications, and we are looking forward to working with the 19 successful grant recipients across the Humber and East Riding.

A very Happy New Year to all HLC partners and stakeholders! I’ve been encouraged by the Editor to spread positivity and light (literally) in my introduction, not particularly easy when we’ve arrived at Lockdown 3,with more severe restrictions for all of us!

Welcome to the final edition this year of the HLC E-Bulletin – the Christmas edition.
Thank you for all your hard work and support throughout what has been at times, a very challenging year.
