BYS GRANT
Creating Better Youth Spaces for the young people
We have been awarded a Better Youth Spaces grant! This is great news for young people, supported by Code 7. The grant will pay for quality studio and computer equipment to benefit young people in Lambeth.
This new equipment will ensure young people can use updated hi-tech equipment that will enable them to improve their outputs while adding worth to their self-esteems.
Better Youth Spaces is a £30.5m Government grant fund to support youthwork in key areas in England, administered by Social Investment Business (SIB).
Nick Temple, CEO for Social Investment Business, that manages the Better Youth Spaces fund, said: “We are excited to be partnering with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to support youth services in priority areas in England and create ‘better youth spaces’ for young people. Through a combination of funding refurbishment projects and providing new equipment, it will bring opportunities for young people to participate in a whole range of enrichment activities – across sports, music and cultural activities. The fund will also help to expand access, create safer spaces, and make youth services more sustainable. This is a real boost for youth services in some of the communities which need it most, creating lasting impact for young people’s wellbeing.”
Welcoming the Better Youth Spaces grant, Asher Senator from Code 7 said: “This grant is welcomed with open arms by the team and young people. It is a significant confirmation by BYS as to their commitment to supporting young people. We know the updated equipment will serve as inspiration for our young service users, giving them the best tools to exercise their creativity and showcase their talent.
A regular service user at Code 7 stated: “This new equipment is special; I can’t wait to build some tracks with the new mixer and get in that booth to use these hi-tech mics”.
