2 Reason

2.1 Supporting voluntary sector youth organisations through Project Development grants extends the capacity of the voluntary sector to increase delivery of effective youth work and supports Corporate Priorities. Providing positive activities for young people leads to safer and more secure communities, the personal and social development of young people leads to maximising their wellbeing and the improvement of facilities enhances the quality of place. As well enabling voluntary organisations, grants help them to work towards the five outcomes of Every Child Matters by encouraging young people to stay safe, be healthy, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and achieve economic well being.
