<p>Local authorities are responsible for allocating public funding to youth services
in their area. We believe they are best placed to know what is required in their communities.</p><p>
</p><p>Alongside this, we are investing in youth organisations in a number of ways
including:</p><ul><li>National Citizen Service (over £1bn has been allocated to NCS
between 15/16 and 19/20) which is delivered via a supply chain network of over 100
organisations, including many youth organisations;</li><li>Creating a new, independent
organisation that will administer a £90m fund using money from dormant accounts to
address barriers to employment for young people, in areas of significant racial disparity.
We have released £1.2m of this funding [today] to boost the capacity of vital grass-roots
youth organisations working with young people in three areas of the country who are
not in education, employment or training;</li><li>Up to £80 million (in partnership
with Big Lottery Fund) through the Youth Investment and #iwill Funds in voluntary
and community organisations that work with young people; and</li><li>The £2m Building
Connections Fund, in partnership with the Co-op Foundation, which is available to
youth organisations helping to support young people to avoid long-term loneliness.</li></ul>
