This is funded from the Local Government settlement, the majority of which is un-ringfenced, allowing local authorities to spend on services according to local priorities, including on youth services.</p><p>Details of all Local Authorities annual spending on youth services can be found in Section 251 data published on gov.uk. Funding is not allocated by the Parliamentary constituency and as such the data will not provide a figure for the Enfield North constituency.</p><p>The Government recognises the vital role that youth services and activities play in improving the life chances and wellbeing of young people. In England, between 2015 - 2021, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), including the National Citizen Service (NCS) Trust, has provided over £1.1 billion to the youth sector. During 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> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 24/04/2023 11:33:24 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
