Overview

The Million Hours Fund phase 3 provides funding for extra youth work hours. This targets young people in areas with higher rates of anti-social behaviour. The fund aims to give young people more positive activities and support. You can use the money to pay for additional youth worker time and programmes. The funding amount is not specified in the available information. No deadline is given, suggesting this may be a rolling application process. Eligibility criteria are not detailed, but this appears aimed at youth organisations and charities working with young people.

Eligibility

Key requirements:

  • Must work in areas with higher rates of anti-social behaviour
  • Must provide extra hours of youth work
Who is this for?

This fund appears to be for youth organisations, charities, and groups that work directly with young people. You should focus on areas where anti-social behaviour rates are higher than average. The funding is likely aimed at established youth work providers rather than individuals.
