Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will publish a list of hubs that have been launched via the Transitions to Adulthood hubs pilot scheme and the amount of funding allocated per hub since 1 January 2020.

The Ministry of Justice has partnered with the London Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) to establish an innovative Youth to Adult Hub (or Transition to Adulthood Pilot) in Newham. The Hub brings a range of holistic trauma-informed services together under one roof working alongside Probation Service staff, to improve outcomes for young adults aged 18-25 years old and 17-year-olds transitioning into adult probation.

The Newham Hub was launched in 2021 and was allocated £3 million in government funding through the Shared Outcomes Fund for a two-year pilot ending in March 2023. MoJ is the lead government department, with MOPAC acting as programme manager and lead commissioner. The pilot has since been extended for a further year, funded by London Probation, MOPAC and the Barrow Cadbury Trust.
