Local authorities are to receive funding to provide youth activities on Friday and Saturday nights.Read: Funding for Friday and Saturday night youth activities.
This is very good news, but once again who will be administering the funds. This has always been our problem.
How can we access these funds and are they applicable to the south wales area or are they yet again, ENGLAND only
Yes, the funds are England only. It might be worth speaking to the Welsh Assembly Government about setting up something similar in Wales.
How do children get involved with the process of deciding what activities the centres will provide?
It's probably worth talking to the local authority head of youth service for your area. I'm sure there will be some sort of consultation with young people taking place.
