Aspirations
Porchlight are supporting individuals who have mental health issues which have been a barrier to work. Support includes a personalised plan including areas such as resilience and self-confidence.
The programme focuses on rural and coastal areas in Kent, Medway and East Sussex.
ESF Projects
ESF focuses on improving employment opportunities, promoting social inclusion and investing in skills by providing the help people need to fulfil their potential.
So far over £50 million has been invested in a range of programmes and projects to help people in the South East LEP area onto the escalator of opportunity and improve their lives.
We are also working with partners from across the area to prioritise future areas for investment for the remaining £20+ million pounds. These tenders will be advertised in the www.gov.uk website in the first half of 2018 and you can find the latest information here on the SELEP homepage.
The ‘Escalator of Opportunity’ describes SELEP’s European Social Fund investment in skills and social inclusion projects. A participant can move along the escalator all the way from long term unemployment to in work training into higher level skills.
