New Funding For Youth Services In Sheffield

[SheffieldForum]

Sheffield City Council has been awarded a Youth Investment Fund Refurbishment Grant to renovate youth provision for young people across the region. 

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport and Social Investment Business have announced that 140 youth projects across England are to be awarded funding to create new opportunities for young people.

 

Six sites in Sheffield will benefit from the scheme that will transform access to new social experiences, health, wellbeing, skills, and opportunities for young people.

 

The Council has been awarded more than £2.5M to renovate or refurbish Stocksbridge Youth Centre, All Saints Youth Club, Tinsley Youth Club, Osgathorpe Youth Club, Woodthorpe Youth Club and Millan Centre.

 

These improvements will range from small refurbishments of the buildings to larger-scale renovation works on two of the centres. This will also include environmental improvements that will both reduce carbon usage and reduce running costs for the buildings.

How far do you think money stretches? I would wager the six names applied for funding, and therefore received it.

Reality is a real bummer isn't it?

 

I'm not saying it's not good news, but 140 projects?  

Any idea what they are?

I'd like to know what counts as a youth project these days. 

What do young people want?

Please let us know.
