Council to boost youth work spending by £90K

A council is set to invest an additional £90,000 in youth services after making support for young people a priority for extra investment over the next financial year.

Proposals set to be considered by members of Brighton and Hove Council next Thursday (22 February) will see the extra money handed to local youth work providers.

A "cross party youth group", set up in Brighton last year to bring politicians and young people together, will decide how the additional funding should be spent.

"The £90k proposal will be discussed at the next cross party youth group, which includes representatives from the three political groups and from various youth groups across the city," a council spokesman said.

"It is this group which will be recommending how this additional money should be prioritised."

The proposals to invest additional money in youth services comes against a backdrop of funding cuts across many youth services across England.
