DurhamWorks

The project is funded through the Shared Prosperity Fund.

DurhamWorks will help unemployed 15-24 year olds, living in County Durham, through the provision of flexible and bespoke delivery of one-to-one support and small group activities. Each young person will use their time on DurhamWorks in the way that best meets their needs and barriers to progression. Their experiences of the programme will be individual to them. Young people will be able to move between Delivery Partners and their programmes will vary in length but will be an average of 6 months, based on their needs.
