Call for Tenders

Reach the Heights is a Welsh Assembly Government initiative aimed at reducing the number of young people in Wales aged 11 - 19 years who are not in education, employment or training (NEET), or at risk of being so. The project has been developed to take advantage of the funding opportunities available from the European Social Fund (ESF) programme in Wales.

In March 2009, Reach the Heights was awarded £27 million from the European Social Fund. This funding will support two projects: First Footholds, and Routes to the Summit. Arts Council of Wales is a joint sponsor on the First Footholds Project.
