<p>The Government recognises the vital role that youth services and activities play in improving the life chances and wellbeing of young people. Between 2015 - 2021 the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), including the National Citizen Service (NCS) Trust, have provided over £1.1 billion to the youth sector. This does not include funding provided to the youth sector by DCMS’ other arms-length bodies, other government department programmes or Local Authorities, as we do not hold this data.</p><p>Over this Spending Review Period, DCMS is investing over £500 million in youth services to deliver the National Youth Guarantee, a government commitment that by 2025, every young person will have access to regular clubs and activities, adventures away from home and opportunities to volunteer.</p> |
