What steps he is taking to support youth projects.
Matt Warman
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
This Government are committed to investing in young people’s futures and ensuring that their voices are heard. The £500 million youth investment fund launching this year will fund new, refurbished and mobile youth centres, alongside investment in positive activities and youth workers across the country. DCMS launched a new online tool earlier this month to involve young people in policy making, and has supported the National Youth Agency to produce guidance for youth organisations on operating safely during covid-19.

Does my right hon. Friend agree that to succeed in life young people need good role models? Will he therefore offer his support to my role models project?
Matt Warman
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
My hon. Friend is absolutely right that good role models are crucial, now perhaps more than ever. I am delighted to offer my support and that of the Department to his new project, and I look forward to discussing it more with him.
