The social enterprise, which was set up in 2015 to “fix the lack of political education in schools by bringing young people together”, launched its development group in partnership with DCMS in July 2021 with six months of funding.
Funding was later extended until September 2022 and will now run until March 2023, Shout Out UK has announced.
Writing on Twitter, the organisation said: “The rumours are true, folks.
“DCMS has extended our youth policy development group for another SIX months!”
