Ruth Fogg's article on Myplace is misguided (Youth Work Now, January 2009). In Aiming High for Young People, we set out our ambition for new places for young people to go over the next 10 years. Myplace is kick-starting this process, by investing more than 200m in projects nationwide.

We know that compiling an application can be challenging for some organisations. That is why we have made it a partnership between third and public sector partners. We have also appointed a Myplace support team who can help with the application process.

We also know that high-quality, smaller scale local activities are vital. So we have made nearly £80m available, as well as £22.5m for the 50 most deprived areas.
