ENGAGE (Pembrokeshire County Council) - Staff contact details
The Project is working with 14 – 19 year old young people and is split into 2 teams. The 14 – 16 year old Vocational Curriculum team working with the secondary schools in the county, and the Outreach Youth Work Team, who are targeting the 16 – 19 year old young people who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) within the county.
The aim of the project is to provide support for young people in the county to access learning for as long as possible in order for them to be better qualified to access work and thus become a contributing member of their communities.
If you would like any more information on this project, and how it can benefit the young people that you work with, then please do not hesitate to contact either Chris Powles, Gordon Wragg or Catherine Morgan.

Further European Funding support for the Third Sector
Third sector organisations seeking advice on European funding in relation to the PQQ for the Small Scale Activities programme, such as eligibility of expenditure, match funding etc, should contact WCVA's third sector European Team (3-SET) or a Spatial European Team (SET) Officer. Local Supplier Development Champions are also on hand to assist in preparing your PQQ and tender submissions and putting in place the relevant policies and procedures required by the contracting authority.
Latest
tendering opportunities
Through the Convergence European Funding Programme the focus is on funding larger, more strategic projects which will therefore be fewer in number than those funded through the Objective One programme. This means that there are fewer direct funding opportunities for smaller, third sector organisations. However the successful larger projects are breaking down some of the components of the activity into contracts which are being advertised out through Sell2Wales. This is where the opportunities for smaller organisations will exist through this programme.
Please make sure that you register with Sell2Wales - https://www.sell2wales.co.uk/ to be notified of any opportunities which may be relevant for your organisation.
