Kidz Konnekt is a charity which was set up in 2004 to provide services, support and opportunities for young people under 25 in Redcar & Cleveland.
The charity works in the borough’s most deprived areas, where levels of multiple deprivation, poor health, low education attainment and high levels of anti-social and risk taking behaviour can impact on young people’s lives.
Kidz Konnect provides targeted youth support through a range of activities. It works in partnership with schools, voluntary organisations and the statutory youth services.
It was successful in gaining funding from the PCC last financial year. It has requested funding this financial year to continue to support the delivery of a programme of activities and services targeted at young people under the age of 25 in the Redcar & Cleveland area.
This initiative supports the PCC’s priorities of tackling re-offending and securing the future of our communities.
