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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to (a) ensure adequate funding to youth clubs and (b) promote social inclusion in communities.

This Government is committed to rebuilding and improving local youth services to ensure every young person across the country has a community.

We’re also investing in the #iWill Movement to support place-based youth social action work. In this work, young people will play an active role in addressing local issues, supporting their sense of belonging and connection to community.
