Local Solutions has secured £490,000 from Comic Relief to run a three year mentoring program for young people aged 16-21 who do not have a secure place to live. The project will be called ‘Sports Horizon’ and will support young people to gain life skills to progress to training & employment and to sustain settled accommodation, using sports as a way to develop skills.

Liverpool Watersports Centre hosted an event for local housing associations to raise awareness of the opportunities on offer at the centre. The event was held in partnership with Fusion 21 and Canal and River Trust who took part in a presentation about the centre and discussion. The presentation was followed by lunch and the opportunity to try out the wheelchair accessible ‘Wheelyboat.’

In a multi-agency effort, organisations from across Liverpool came together at Local Solutions' Kensington Office to pack survival kits for those in need.
