The Youth Transformation Pilot is funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). The Pilot’s Support Fund has launched. This new fund is here to help voluntary and community youth groups improve the activities and support they offer to young people aged 11 and over. This is a great chance for us to reach more young people and make a real difference in their lives.
We are eager to see the positive changes and growth that this fund will bring. Let's work together to make the most of this opportunity and support our youth in their journey towards a brighter future.
