The programme aims to help participants develop skills, confidence, motivation and resilience to progress into formal learning or employment, improve health and wellbeing, strengthen communities, and support parental engagement in children's education. Delivery partners will focus on widening participation among underrepresented groups, removing barriers to learning, and promoting the benefits of lifelong learning. Successful delivery will create pathways for personal development, community strengthening, and positive economic impact across Somerset. This is a core delivery contract for 2026-27.
