Youth Investment Fund
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent progress her Department has made on implementing the reprofiled Youth Investment Fund.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Youth Investment Fund continues to deliver significant numbers of new youth facilities in less advantaged areas across England.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has invested over £145 million to provide stability to the youth sector and ensure young people can continue to access opportunities, as we transition to the new National Youth Strategy. Part of this funding is in recognition of the urgent need for more youth facilities and has enabled more flexibility with project delivery and continues to support the completion of Youth Investment Fund projects into 2026.
