The £368 million Youth Investment Fund, launched by my Department, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, to improve youth services in underserved areas, has now opened for bids.
The Fund is designed, to create, improve and expand local youth facilities and services. Youth services across 45 local authorities and more than 600 district wards with poor provision across England are encouraged to apply
We are committed to ensuring that no young person is left out of reach or left behind, and the Government have put it at the heart of our drive to level up this country.
Droitwich West, in my constituency, is one of the identified district wards, and I would encourage youth services in any eligible areas to apply for funds to improve the health, wellbeing, skills and opportunities for our young people.
