The UK government has announced a National Youth Strategy to improve opportunities for young people across the country.
As part of the initiative, young people will be invited to join a national conversation to collaboratively shape the strategy, ensuring opportunities are created in every community.
The Strategy will prioritise delivering better coordinated youth services and policies at local, regional and national levels. A total of £185 million in funding has been allocated, including £85 million to address the urgent need for more youth facilities, and £100 million from the Dormant Assets Scheme.
This will include £26 million of new funding for youth clubs to buy new equipment and undertake much needed renovations via the Better Youth Spaces programme. (Further details on what the dormant assets funding can support will be set out in due course).
