A PROJECT designed to assist young people with their education by providing support outside of timetabled studies has launched.
The Tendring Study Zones initiative will look to provide safe and well-connected venues for young people to study in.
Run by Essex Council, it will be taking place throughout 2021/22 and referrals are now open, with the first batch being reviewed on May 14.
It is hoped the project will help to support young people at a time where Covid-19 is having a significant impact on their education.
Essex Youth Service, a branch of the council, is working in partnership with Essex Libraries to provide the service.
Harwich Library, in Upper Kingsway, and Manningtree Library, in High Street, will be playing host to the initiative.
Based on the referrals received, the youth service will aim to match up young people with nearby Study Zones on days/times that suit them.
