How does the Welsh Government budget 2025-26 support voluntary youth work charities and organisations?
Within the Youth Engagement & Employment BEL in 2025-26, £1.465m will be allocated to a range of national and specialist voluntary organisations via our Strategic Voluntary Youth Work grant to support their work. A further £110,250 will be allocated to the Council of Wales for Voluntary Youth Services to support their work and help enable effective collaboration between voluntary organisations, local authorities and the Welsh Government.
Alongside this, £11.482m will be allocated to local authorities via the Youth Support Grant in 2025-26 to enable them to deliver a broad range of youth work services based on locally identified needs.
