Dear resident,

Over the last 12 months, the Liberal Democrat Administration at Bath and North East Somerset Council has made every effort to show how much we value and prioritise services for children and young people.

Whether that’s protecting the youth service budget, investing in play provision, or increasing funding for Children in Care, we have shown that supporting children from an early age is paramount to ensuring they do well in later life.

It’s because of this commitment that I am pleased to announce the launch of the brand new Future Fund.

Totalling £100,000, it’s a fund to support positive activities for young people and to provide them with even more opportunities to volunteer, take part in recreational activities and receive support and assistance with getting into work or training.

The fund will be divided into two parts. Firstly, £60,000 has been earmarked to fund groups and initiatives that support young people to get involved with positive activities. The remaining £40,000 is specifically for young people who are struggling to find training or employment. The money will be used to ensure that the young people we work with have a better chance of fulfilling their goals and aspirations.

We’ll be releasing details over the coming weeks and months as to how local people can apply to the Future Fund.

The Council is committed to ensuring that all children and young people enjoy their childhood and are prepared for adult life.

Yours sincerely,

   Nathan
