The first part is the delivery of a holiday based activities scheme which can meet the needs of disabled children and young people on a county-wide basis so that it is accessible for families \(usually delivered in the six district areas of Cornwall\) across the County of Cornwall\. The second part of the contract is to deliver 3 youth groups in the East, Mid and West of the County\. The youth groups will be delivered in partnership with the Council's youth service\.
