Premier League club charities are to help provide young people with wellbeing, work and skills support.
Delivered in partnership with the Government, the Premier League will be contributing to the Youth Hubs initiative, which has received an additional £25m of funding.
In a statement today, the Department for Work and Pensions revealed that the investment will support the expansion of the scheme across more than 200 locations in England, Scotland and Wales.
The scheme aims to deliver services such as employment, wellness and training advice to those in high-need areas, accessible to young people at local settings such as libraries and sports clubs.
Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Pat McFadden emphasised that ‘the number of young people not in education, employment or training is unacceptably high’.
He added: ‘Through our £25 million expansion of Youth Hubs and partnerships with the Premier League and other key organisations, we’re creating real opportunities for the next generation, ensuring support is targeted to those most in need.
‘This investment will support our mission to give every young person the skills and confidence they need to thrive, as we break down barriers to opportunity under our Plan for Change.’
