OUR STORY
The Young Lewisham Project is an alternative provision based in Forest Hill in the borough of Lewisham, South East London.
We offer a range of supportive, alternative, vocational programmes to young people who are perhaps not reaching their full potential in mainstream education in order to help maximise their chances of becoming valued members of our ever-evolving society.
WHAT WE DO
We offer a wide range of exciting programmes from Monday to Saturday, for local 11-18 year olds, including motorbike mechanics, bike maintenance, cooking, carpentry and woodwork skills, multi-media and music production sessions, Digital Media and Gardening.
Young people can gain Open College Network accreditations in Entry 3, level 1 and level 2
Our day runs from 9.30am-2.30pm
£150 per day referral rate which includes breakfast, a hot lunch and all accreditation costs
Please complete the referral form attached or give us a ring for more information
