Written Question
International Citizen Service
Wednesday 21st November 2018

Asked by: Steve Reed (Labour (Co-op) - Streatham and Croydon North)

Question to the Department for International Development:

What assessment she has made of the future funding needs of the International Citizen Service.

Answered by Harriett Baldwin - Shadow Minister (Business and Trade)

Almost 35,000 young people have completed the International Citizen Service to date. Thanks to a £15m extension to the programme, 3,000 more young people will complete placements before the end of next year.

As we continue with our ambitious redesign, funding details beyond next year have not been confirmed. However, I can confirm that £8.5 million has been allocated for the 2019/20 financial year.
