Brilliant alternative education for children who struggle in school (360G-phf-29247)
Woodpecker Court Youth Activities (WCYA) aims to offer brilliant alternative education through day provision and residentials, where young people who have exhausted their options in mainstream schooling work with nature, small animals and the outdoors to help them re-engage with learning. WCYA is run by Dominic Meehan, a youth worker with 11 years’ experience working in schools, and builds on previous work with Canterbury Academy as part of PHF’s Learning Away special initiative. PHF funding will pay for Dominic’s salary for the first year as he builds up WCYA’s delivery.
