Funding is made available on an annual basis to 31 national and major regional voluntary organisations for the support of voluntary youth work through the Youth Service Grant Scheme. The continued funding of voluntary youth organisations through the scheme is intended to ensure the emergence, promotion, growth and development of youth organisations with distinctive philosophies and programmes aimed at the social education of young people.
