The Department for Culture, Media and Sport and Big Lottery Fund is to provide voluntary youth groups with £40m to develop youth projects in 34 of the most deprived communities in England (see box).
The funding is part of an £80m support package that also includes developing volunteering and social action opportunities for young people. How will the Youth Investment Fund work and what should voluntary organisations do to get a share?
What funding is available?
Voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations such as registered charities, community benefit societies, community interest companies and other types of social enterprise that provide frontline, open access youth service provision in the targeted areas can apply for up to three years of funding. Local authorities will not be eligible.
