<p>Youth Hubs are run in partnership with, and are hosted in the premises of, partner
organisations. Where appropriate, partners can submit a grant application to receive
funding to support the operational running of a Youth Hub. However, not all Youth
Hubs are supported by grant funding and others will have identified alternative funding,
e.g. Community Renewal Funds, to establish Hubs.</p><p> </p><p>The information regarding
the Department’s spend on grants to support the opening and operation of Youth Hubs
in each financial year since they were launched is not held.</p><p> </p><p>The indicative
Youth Hub Work Coach costs for the previous three financial years are:</p><p> </p><p>2020/2021
- £1.1m</p><p>2021/2022 - £5.4m</p><p>2022/2023 - £4.8m</p><p><em><br> </em>NB:</p><ul><li>This

to definitions / benefits / DWP structure effect comparisons over time. It should
