Question

To ask His Majesty's Government by what criteria bodies are deemed eligible to apply from the youth matters fund; what is the minimum size of such grants; and what is the minimum period such grants are expected to cover.

The Youth Matters Fund is a demand led fund for youth organisations and Local Authority youth organisations to deliver significant long-term change in youth services provision across the parts of England with the greatest need.

We are currently in the process of appointing a delivery partner to mobilise the fund. Further details and guidance on the application process, grant periods for capital and revenue strands of the fund, and eligibility criteria, will be announced later in the year.
