Provide greater awareness of the dangers of social media and also how to stay safe in the community
-
Raise aspirations in education and inspire young leaders
-
Provide learning and post course access to low-cost opportunities

Alternative provision
Zinc Alternative Provision is a FREE, engaging and supportive programme designed for young people aged 11–16 who would benefit from an alternative approach to education.
Working with specialist arts, sports and mentoring coaches, the programme supports learners who may be experiencing poor mental health or wellbeing, struggling with attendance at mainstream school, or who would benefit from additional guidance, confidence-building and personalised support.
Zinc Alternative Provision provides a safe, welcoming space where young people can build confidence, develop new skills and leave feeling more empowered, connected and ready to take their next steps.
This takes place in Epping Forest Museum.
