£115M For Youth
(UK) I love it when young people are empowered. It's one of the basics I strive for in all my projects.
So when the UK government decides to give responsibility to 13-19 year olds on how £115 million will be spent through the new The Youth Opportunity Fund and Youth Capital funds will both be made available from April 2006 for two years.
Here's what the Children's Minister Beverley Hughes said at it's launch:
Never before has a Government put so much responsibility into the hands of young people to let them decide what activities or facilities they need, whether it is a youth cafe or establishing better sports or art facilities. This is a new form of Government devolving right down to local people including teenagers as young as 13 having influence over a multi-million pound package.
Be interesting to see what the young people ask for and more importantly get.
