This WCVA free event will launch a European funding scheme for the Convergence areas of Wales. The event will inform organisations about the Engagement Gateway project, what it can invest in and will include a Q&A session.

The Engagement Gateway project will invest in organisations that are working with the economically inactive and the hardest to reach. The project will focus on creating clear routes for progression for individuals to build their knowledge, skills and confidence through a structured, developmental approach to enable individuals to engage with mainstream employment activity.

The launch event is free to attend and designed to inform organisations about the scheme, what it can invest in, and how organisations can be involved.

To reserve a place, contact WCVA on 0800 2888 329. Places are limited so please book soon to avoid disappointment.

Engagement Gateway grants will be available to any organisation; however activities must be delivered to participants in the Convergence areas of Wales: Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Merthyr Tydfil, Caerphilly and Torfaen.

Engagement Gateway is funded by the Wales Assembly Government and European Structural Funds (European Social Fund).
