Second Phase of Funding

A review was carried out of the allocated funding of Phase 1 projects against the strategic aims and objectives of the Thanet Works Strategy. During this review it was identified that there was a lack of financial investment from Thanet works funding in the following three areas:

● Private Sector investment

● Increased provision of childcare availability

● Directly targeted activity at youths who were known offenders.

Youth Offending Project
