What is Pathways to Work?

South Yorkshire is taking innovative and unprecedented steps to tackle economic inactivity. By aligning health, employment and skills services, Pathways to Work will drive system-wide change which will help people to overcome their individual barriers to (re)enter or remain in the workplace, contributing to the region’s ambition to reduce economic inactivity.

What is the Remake Learning Days Festival?

Back for 2025, the Remake Learning Days Festival is a concept that was brought to the UK for the first time in 2023 from America, and will be offering a series of family-friendly, free and low cost events taking place over ten days, including May Half-Term, to offer fun and engaging learning opportunities right across Doncaster.

Over 200 events are currently planned for the festival, now in its third year, and we welcome new expressions of interest with this funding opportunity, with a specific focus on those aged 16+ and not currently in employment.

What activities can I apply for a grant to run?

The activities you run must be engaging, inclusive, accessible, spark curiosity and passion and promote the development of both technical, practical, life and socio-emotional skills.

The activities should provide a platform for building confidence and to create opportunities for people to consider their future career, volunteering and learning options.

Need advice on potential activities or help completing the form?

If you’d like any help or advice in planning your learning activity or completing this application form, please email remake.learning@doncaster.gov.uk. All questions must be completed. Any applications that are not fully completed will not be considered.

Deadline and where to send completed forms:

Applications close on 09/05/2025. Please submit all applications to remake.learning@doncaster.gov.uk

*Due to the focus of Pathways, any funded activity must have a focus on providing opportunities for people aged 16+, with a particular focus on engaging with people not in employment. However, this does not mean that activity needs to exclusively target this cohort. In order to evidence that target cohorts are benefitting from the funded activity, grantees are required to ensure participants complete an engagement form prior to delivery. For more details, email remake.learning@doncaster.gov.uk
