I’m really pleased to announce that a pioneering service which supports young people on the edge of care or at risk of exploitation has been extended for another year.
Over the last two years, the Power2 team in Wolverhampton have supported dozens of vulnerable 11 to 25 year olds to turn their lives around, improving school attendance and family relationships and preventing them from getting involved in high risk and criminal activities or having to be taken into care.
The council has committed funding for the service for the coming financial year, and is now looking to work with partners to establish a longer term multi agency funding model for the team.
The support the Power2 team has provided to some of our most vulnerable children and young people over the last couple of years has had real impact, helping them to exert more positive control over their lives as they make the move into adulthood.
Our Labour Council will continue to work to ensure that no children in this city get left behind.
