<p>It is the responsibility of local authorities to decide how to allocate funding
for youth services according to local need, through the existing statutory duty (Education
Act 2006, Section 507B). Government launched the Delivering Differently for Young
People Programme to offer practical support to local authorities in exploring innovative
and sustainable models for delivering youth services. Government continues to support
the Centre for Youth Impact to work with youth organisations to undertake research
to measure impact and demonstrate value to funders and commissioners. We are also
committed to expanding National Citizen Service, which many youth sector organisations
help to deliver. Government is taking new steps to encourage and enable social action.
This includes a further £15m investment in the next phase of the Centre for Social
Action. We want social action to become a lifelong habit.</p>
