The Youth Investment Fund is making significant strides in improving facilities for young people across various locations. In Southampton, Youth Options is set to transform an old and uninviting space into a vibrant and youth-focused safe haven. Plymouth Youth Services will see renovations and expansions across three youth centers, including the addition of a new digital hub and a state-of-the-art Youth Play Zone. The Weymouth West Air Scouts and the Shelton Lock Scout & Guide Group at Derby South Scouts are also beneficiaries of the fund, with plans to create modern facilities that are sustainable and better suited to meet the needs of young people. In South Philadelphia, a new teen center operated by Caring People Alliance at the South Philadelphia Boys and Girls Club has opened, offering a music studio, gaming and cosmetology spaces, and free after-school programming for teens. Additionally, the African Caribbean center in Leicester has been handed over to local community control, ensuring its preservation for future generations. Brisbane Youth Service has acquired a four-story building in Fortitude Valley to provide housing support for young people in need.
