§ Mr. HendryTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what funding programmes are operated by his Department to support voluntary organizations working with young people; and what the level of support has been over the last three years. [116494]
§ Beverley HughesOur funding programmes do not specifically target support for voluntary organisations working with young people. The Active Community Unit funds a number of national/voluntary and community umbrella bodies many of which will support organisations that work with young people. We do not, however, routinely collect information on the level of funding for such work.
The programmes listed in the table are open to all voluntary and community organisations but include substantial support for those involved in youth projects.
