The Department for Children, Schools and Families has pledged to give the cash to youth work charities that focus on preventing young people from committing crime or becoming involved in antisocial behaviour. The money will be given in the second round of the Youth Sector Development Fund.
Children's minister Beverley Hughes said: "We expect to fund a wide range of organisations whose work focuses on our current youth priorities - particularly those that offer services to young people who are at risk of becoming involved in crime."
As well as financial help, the charities will get business advice to help them secure their long-term future. The fund will support around 12 organisations, who will each get around £2.5m.
