    Summary

    Top of Page

    Moving your cursor over the map at the top of the page will show information for the individual boroughs. The figures relating to total numbers of organisations and projects refer to their location rather than their recruitment areas. The total number of participants does not take into account individuals attending more than one project. The figures under 'Number of Projects Targeting these Groups' are taken from the question in the survey asking projects to select from this list. Go to 'Summary'














    Find Projects

    Use this section to quickly find projects who responded to the survey with an emphasis on learning and skills aimed at the '3Ds'.

    The 5 principal criteria are...

    Target Groups

    The survey asked participants to select main target group from this list shown. Projects were encouraged to select one main target group and a number of secondary target groups, unless their main target group simultaneously matched multiple groups, e.g. Homeless, disabled people under 19. This search option looks for matches in both main and secondary target groups. Main and Secondary Target groups can be searched for amongst the "more criteria". If you click a checkbox in any of the target group sections the page will automatically deselect the other sections to avoid empty searches.Go to 'Target Groups'
