THE SPONSORS AND THE PARTNERS

URBAN FUTURES
SRB 4 Scheme
Tottenham Futures is a scheme that is funded by the Government (through its Single Regeneration Budget fund) and various partners including local businesses and voluntary groups. The Government have pledged £7.1m over five years, towards an overall total of £23.2m for Tottenham.

This money has been awarded to Tottenham because of the area’s economic decline and failure to benefit from the recent boom years. Tottenham has one of the highest concentrations of unemployment in the entire country. Young people in the area face two main barriers: low levels of educational achievement and job skills, coupled with a lack of access to opportunities offered by employers. The Tottenham Futures programme is designed to enable young people to overcome these obstacles.

The scheme aims to target people between the ages of 14 and 24. Those involved will fall into one of the following categories:
[1]  14-16 year olds who are failing at school, are likely to be excluded, or have already been excluded.
[2]  16-24 year olds with no qualifications and no opportunity of achieving any.
[3]  16-24 year olds who have experienced discrimination and disadvantage in the labour market.
[4]l  18-24 year olds who are eligible for New Deal.

Broadly speaking, the three main objectives of the programme are to:
[1]  cut the number of school exclusions.
[2]  raise the skills level of young people.
[3]  reduce youth unemployment.

The Haringey Regeneration Agency is responsible for the management of the scheme and the allocation of funds. Work is currently underway with local schools, council departments and employment providers. Tottenham Futures is co-ordinating the recruitment of staff for the new Wood Green Cinema Development, and aims to fill 200 vacancies there for local people. In addition, Tottenham Futures is keen to explore the field of sports development, both as a healthy pastime for youngsters and as a possible route into employment. At present there is a Midnight Basketball project, and other sports are likely to be introduced for the young people of Tottenham.

By the end of its five-year life, the Tottenham Futures programme hopes to have enabled 4000 pupils to have gained extra qualifications and have placed 3500 people into employment. This will have a significant impact on the lives of young people, and Tottenham as a whole.
