The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sports (DCMS) has announced the 43 latest recipients of its Youth Investment Fund (YIF) which aims to give “45,000 more young people access to youth facilities”.
The fund will benefit 45 local authorities and around 600 district wards in England where youth need is high and provision is low.
The initial grants will provide an additional 16,500 young people aged 11 to 18, and up to 25 for young people with special educational needs and disabilities, with access to activities to support their well-being, health, and skills development.
Every YIF project which applied for funding has been assessed by a grant panel as well as being evaluated by a team of trained young assessors recruited and supported by the National Youth Agency (NYA).
