05. Please tell us who the main beneficiaries of your scheme will be, and how they will benefit. (Maximum 700 characters, including spaces)
Please include relevant information about the ethnicity, age, special needs and other characteristics of your intended service users. Use numbers (actual or estimated) wherever possible. Tell us how you expect them to benefit. (Remember you do not have to describe the service here; you will have already done that in your answer to Q4.)
For example:
The scheme will benefit young offenders and those at risk of offending. Past experience has shown that music and performing arts workshops are effective in helping this group develop the skills, confidence and greater sense of purpose needed to re-engage with education or employment and move away from offending behaviour. We expect to work with 120 young people (under the age of 18) in the first year of the scheme. The majority of service users in this area are white British. (483 characters)
The main beneficiaries will be African Caribbean families in this area, where unemployment is high and educational attainment is low. We aim to work with 2,000 people in the first year, rising to 4,000 in year 5. Our service will remove or reduce many of the commonest barriers to education and training, including childcare needs, skills shortages and lack of engagement with more formal routes to training and employment. We expect to see a growing number of service users progress to employment. (500 characters)
