DEPARTMENT FOR
CHILDREN, SCHOOLS AND FAMILIES News Release (2008/0027) issued by
The Government News Network on 15 February 2008
Minister for Young
People Kevin Brennan today committed a £31million funding boost
over the next 3 years, through the Children, Young People and
Families Grant Programme, benefiting nearly 100 third sector organisations.
The Children, Young People and Families Grant Programme awards
funding to third sector organisations whose work improves outcomes
for children, young people and families and is in line with the
overall strategic priorities of the Department.
This year the grants allocated will help a wide range of
organisations, tackling a variety of issues including teenage
pregnancy, youth participation, bullying and support children in
care. Grants range from over £1million for the Royal
Philanthropic Society (Rainer) to assist young people as they make
the transition from care to independent adult life, to smaller one
year grants such as £33,000 to Badminton UK to offer build
sporting facilities for disabled young people.
Kevin Brennan said:
"I was delighted to see so many high calibre applications
from organisations working across the sector. All of these
organisations provide invaluable help and support to millions of
our most disadvantaged children and young people each year.
"Today's announcement will enable each of these
organisations to build on their work and help thousands more young
people fulfil their potential and is a testament to the
Government's continued commitment to the third sector and the
vital work that it does."
This financial year (2008/09) over £11million has been allocated
from the programme, benefiting 99 third sector organisations from
across England. The remaining cash will used to fund the
strategic projects over the three year period until 2010/11.
The next Children, Young People and Families Grant funding round
will open early summer 2008.
NOTES TO EDITORS
1. The Children, Young People and Families Grant Programme was
created in April 2006 when the Department brought together five
existing grant programmes into a single programme to award funding
in a more strategic way. These were: the Children and Young
People's Consultation Fund; the National Voluntary Youth
Organisations Grant Scheme; Safeguarding Children and Supporting
Families grants; the Strengthening Families Grant; and the Sure
Start VCS grants.
The Grant Programme supports work of national significance that
contributes to ensuring children and young people stay safe, are
healthy, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and
achieve economic wellbeing in line with Every Child Matters.
2. This year just under £2 million has been allocated for project
grants in 2008-09, with a further £9 million in three year
strategic funding.
Strategic grants: These grants are for 3
years in the first instance and may be renewed. The activity
being supported by these grants must have a national significance
in improving outcomes for children, young people or families.
Project grants: These are awarded for 1 year and must support
innovative approaches to delivery and can be replicated or scaled
up in a greater number of locations.
