Council accept EU grant money to help ‘marginalised adults’ in Doncaster into work and training

Doncaster Council has accepted a six-figure sum in grant funding to engage with ‘marginalised adults’ to help them into education, employment or training.

Councils across South Yorkshire will benefit from a successful bid to the European Social Fund – an EU pot of money which aims to improve the lives of people through work, education and training.

The term ‘marginalised adults’ refers to groups such as lone parents, looked after children, care leavers, ex-offenders, carers, the traveller communities, people with no education, employment or training (NEET), long term unemployed, BME groups, women and ‘those without basic skills’.
