The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to help support (a) youth centres and (b) youth services in the Forest of Dean.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

This government recognises the value of youth centres and youth services, and has committed to co-producing a new National Youth Strategy. This is an opportunity to move away from one-size-fits all approaches from central government, bringing power back to young people and their communities and rebuilding a thriving and sustainable sector. We plan to publish the strategy in the summer.
