Starmer unveils £88m for youth services to tackle online challenge
Derby Telegraph
|August 06, 2025
SIR Keir Starmer has announced an £88 million package for youth clubs and schools as he warned children are “too often isolated at home” facing the challenges of the online world.
-
The funding will be aimed at delivering services like new climbing walls, music lessons and outdoor activities in a bid to buck the “worrying” trend of young people “detached from the real world”, Downing Street said.
Groups like the Scouts and Guides will receive £7.5 million to help offer more places in local communities while £30.5 million will go to improving youth club infrastructure in areas with the highest levels of child poverty.
