Other key findings from the research into the financial year 2001-02, the sixth annual analysis of basic data about England's youth service compiled by The NYA, include:

It now stands at 60m - more than three times that reported in 1996-97 (19.5m) - and represents 18 per cent of total spending on youth services in England.
