Youth Services: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when guidance on eligibility criteria and application processes for the next phase of the Better Youth Spaces Fund will be published.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
We have been focused on how we can streamline our departmental funding to ensure young people are shaping our priorities and decisions. With this in mind, we are currently merging our major youth funds which includes Better Youth Spaces and Richer Young Lives.
Our vision is to establish a much more straightforward funding system, focusing on providing opportunities to young people when and where they need them, and ensuring we remain responsive to the views front line delivery organisations and young people have shared. Further details on when it will open to applicants, along with guidance on the application process and eligibility criteria, will be announced later in the year.
