Answered by Stephanie Peacock
Through Youth Matters, this Government is delivering more and better places for young people.
We are investing in 250 new or refurbished youth centres alongside 50 Young Futures Hubs.
We are streamlining local funding by merging our major youth funds, while injecting Dormant Assets funding into more enriching activities.
Our Enrichment Expansion Programme is on track to boost after-school opportunities across the country, and the Local Youth Transformation Pilot is currently testing approaches with local authorities to improve their local youth offers.
