Context

The Way Youth Zone provides various facilities for young people in Wolverhampton, but many youths cannot access it due to its location. There is a need to replicate successful youth inclusion models.

Question

The Way Youth Zone offers young people in Wolverhampton numerous facilities and activities. However, many are unable to access the centre as they live too far away. Does my hon. Friend have plans for investment opportunities to replicate this successful model in other parts of Wolverhampton?

Answer from Nigel Adams (Minister of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

My hon. Friend is correct that young people in Wolverhampton should have access to high-quality youth services like The Way Youth Zone regardless of where they live. The £500 million youth investment fund will enable the development and expansion of capital resources, including buildings and mobile facilities for hard-to-reach areas.
