Better Youth Spaces

Better Youth Spaces is a capital grant programme funded by the UK Government and administered by Social Investment Business. This funding round can be used for capital equipment (including the purchase of vehicles), to help youth organisations to better support the young people they work with. The project must meet at least one of the fund objectives:   

• Improving the reach of activities provided.   
• Improving the safety of existing youth facilities.   
• Improve the youth sector’s capacity and quality to deliver a range of enrichment activities.   
• Improving the financial sustainability of youth facilities.  

Youth organisations in 42 priority areas of England that are not-for-profit, with at least 50% of their provision for children/ young people aged up to 18, and a significant proportion of that provision must be open access youth provision for children and young people aged 11 to 18 years (or up to 25 years if they have special educational needs or disabilities, are leaving care, or considered ‘at risk’ or vulnerable).
