The Reconnect Programme
The Reconnect Programme ran from April 2021 until autumn 2022 working with communities to help children and young people reconnect to their pre-pandemic lives.
Reconnect was established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to combat the issues faced by children and young people, but it has become more than that. Beyond the commissioned activity and support, Reconnect has promoted an approach to partnership working with the voluntary and community sector that will last far beyond the end of the programme. It has shown that a joined-up approach with services and community organisations can extend the reach of the support available to the children and young people in Kent.
The Reconnect Programme has now ended, including any associated offers. We would like to thank everyone involved for their immense support, dedication and commitment to Kent’s children and young people.
How we've helped
The Reconnect Programme has helped thousands of children and young people across Kent to get back to the things they enjoyed doing before the pandemic. Find out about some of the projects we were involved in under each Reconnect theme and the impact they had below.
