My place will provide £190m of Government cash over the next three years with grants of between £1m and £5m.
This follows the announcements made by Ed Balls over the last year and is very welcome start to the process of, as they put it ... 'aiming to deliver world class youth facilities driven by the active participation of young people and their views and needs'. Cadence's work with Clubs for Young People on a Blueprint for structured community youth works in clubs will hopefully play an important part in ensuring such investment has a lasting benefit.
Specifically they want My place bids that lead to:
- more young people, parents and communities feeling that young people have attractive and safe places to go in their leisure time where they can get involved in a wide range of exciting activities
- more young people, particularly the most disadvantaged, participating in positive leisure time activities that support their personal and social development
- more young people having access to information, advice and support services from within places they feel
comfortable - stronger partnership working between local authorities and their third, private and public sector partners to plan, deliver and operate financially sustainable facilities with and for young people.
More news on the Blueprint will be available over the coming months.
