Aims/priorities: Funding is intended to create, expand and improve local youth facilities and their services, with the goal of driving positive outcomes for young people, such as:

  • Improved health and wellbeing.
  • Skills for work, employment and life.

Community Ownership Fund

Aims/priorities: The Community Ownership Fund is a £150 million fund over four years (2021 to 2024/25) to support community groups across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to take ownership of assets which are at risk of being lost to the community.

The fund forms part of a package of UK wide levelling-up interventions, helping to support recovery, build opportunity and empower communities to improve their local places.

The Community Ownership Fund has four strategic objectives:
