The Youth Evangelism Fund will be half funded by the Archbishop's Council and match funded with grants from the Henry Smith Charity, the Laing Family Trusts and the James Trust, to provide about 200,000 a year for the next five years.
During each of the five years, dioceses will be given cash for young people aged 11 to 20 to apply for. This year nine dioceses will receive 25,000 each, including Bradford, Newcastle, Sheffield, and Birmingham.
