Context

Achieving for Children is seeking providers with excellent track records of delivering youth work to tender for a youth and community contract on behalf of AfC. This will be issued as one contract and we welcome providers who may consider collaborating as a consortium or through sub-contracting.

AfC are preparing to commission a single contract to operate and deliver youth provision with aspects of community work across Kingston and Richmond out of the following centres:
• Hampton Youth Project – TW13 3HY
• Dickerage Sports and Community Centre – KT1 3RU, and
• Kingsnympton Youth Centre – KT2 7RR

The aim is for a provider to deliver support to young people through youth work approaches during their transition to adulthood and independence from each centre and from Dickerage only to enable a range of interesting and creative community activities for community groups outside of the youth service target age range.

The contract will be issued for a three year period with a possible extension for one further year. The value of the contract is within the region of £175k to £195k per year starting 1 April 2017.

The event draft agenda:
1pm Arrivals and cold buffet lunch
1.30pm Welcomes and Introductions
Details on service provision, what we require, intended targets, hear feedback and provide timeframes
4pm Close

This event is open to any organisation that has an interest in or is already involved in delivering youth work in either Kingston or Richmond.

What will it involve?

The event will include a presentation by AfC on the current arrangements for the delivery of the three centres, as well as an overview on the future strategy.

There will be a discussion on the outcomes that AfC aspires to achieve over the coming years.
