Positive Opportunities Worcestershire (POW)
POW is a government project to help children and young people try new things that will help them at school and in life.POW money is aimed at children and young people whose families may find it difficult to pay for activities or who are in care. It can be used to pay for activities before and after school and during school holidays (not including childcare).
Children and young people can choose from the activities offered at school or other places, like leisure centres or clubs. POW money can also pay fees for clubs such as Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Brownies and many other organisations, even to join a local football team or music group. The funding can also pay for a pass for activities.
If you provide activities for children and young people and you would like to find out more look at www.worcestershire.gov.uk/extendedservices or email
