The Children and Youth Services Development Unit (CYSDU) of my Department supports the delivery of a range of youth work programmes and services for all young people including those from disadvantaged communities through grants in aid, which are part-funded by the National Lottery.

The process of determining the financial allocations to the Youth Work Sector for 2011 is being finalised. As in 2010 the focus will be on consolidating, insofar as possible, existing provision and services in the Youth Sector. Every effort will be made to notify the various youth work organisations and administering agencies of their allocations as speedily as possible.
