Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what proportion of her Department's annual funding for youth programmes is provided to the National Citizen Service Trust.
The National Citizen Service will receive £171 million over the next three years to support the newly announced National Youth Guarantee and provide hundreds of thousands young people from all backgrounds with opportunities to become ‘work-ready and world-ready’.
This represents approximately 30% of this Department’s £560 million investment into youth programmes over the next three years.
