Details

Phase 2 of the Youth Investment Fund (22/23 to 24/25) launched on 1 August 2022. The aim of the Youth Investment Fund is to create, expand and improve local youth facilities and their services to drive positive outcomes for young people, including improved health and wellbeing, and skills for work and life.

Over £300 million of funding is available to local youth organisations in 45 local authorities and over 600 district wards in levelling up priority areas in England. Approximately one-third of all young people in England aged 11 to 18 live in these eligible areas. Eligible areas have been identified and ranked by youth need and low provision. See detailed methodology underpinning the selection of areas.

Phase 2 grantees

On behalf of the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS), Social Investment Business and partners have so far granted over £160 million to 87 organisations to build, renovate and expand youth provision. Further announcements will be made until the funding is fully committed.
