June 16, 2011 Leave a comment
A CYP Now survey, compiled in conjunction with UK Youth, has produced the results of a survey of 18 youth associations and clubs, which collectively support almost 300,000 young people. It revealed that 67% of the youth associations and clubs said they or their members had been affected by cuts.
27% said the impact of spending cuts on youth clubs in their area wasn’t yet clear and only 6% said that projects hadn’t been affected. But 72% said they had been able to access alternative sources of funding and 53% are planning to take over services previously provided by local authorities.
