Written Question
Girlguiding UK
Tuesday 30th January 2024

Asked by: Gregory Campbell (Democratic Unionist Party - East Londonderry)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to (a) support Girlguiding UK and (b) develop links overseas with similar ventures.

Answered by Stuart Andrew - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)

The Government recognises the vital role that youth services and activities play in improving the life chances and wellbeing of young people. We have committed to a National Youth Guarantee: that by 2025, every young person will have access to regular clubs and activities, adventures away from home and opportunities to volunteer. This is supported by a three year investment of over £500 million in youth services, reflecting young people's priorities and addressing the inconsistencies in national youth spending, with a firm focus on levelling up.

As part of the National Youth Guarantee, we are investing over £16 million in Uniformed Youth Organisations, including Girlguiding, to ensure all young people have access to these groups by establishing new groups in areas without existing provision, and tackling waiting lists.

Additionally, this Government is committed to protecting the United Kingdom’s core national interests, ensuring the prosperity of the British people across the Overseas Territories. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport, alongside colleagues in the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, is engaging in ongoing discussions with representatives of the British Overseas Territories and Girlguiding UK on options for the continuation of Girlguiding in the Territories.
