What is a referring professional?
At Thriving Through Recreation we normally require grant applications to be supported by a frontline professional.
​
This can be anyone who, as part of their job, regularly works directly with a child or young person. Ultimately, they have to sufficiently know the child or young person in order to establish that a grant from Thriving Through Recreation is both necessary and beneficial. They will also be able to support that child or young person to find a suitable and safe activity provider, facilitate access, and encourage attendance.
​
Examples of frontline professionals who can support grant applications are listed below:
​
-
Teacher

SENCO

School Counsellor or Wellbeing Mentor

Charity Worker
