The Catch-up Coalition receives public funding to employ over 3000 people
TLT coordinated the After School Catch-up Coalition of 50 non-profit After School Programmes to support widespread education recovery.

The coalition leverages public employment funding to increase human capacity in the after-school sector through after-school assistants.
