The question arises from the need to support organisations that help young people stay away from gangs and crime.
What steps her Department is taking to support youth activities in urban communities. Based in North Woolwich, Fight for Peace faces a tough time but supports over 1,300 people and employs over 50 staff members. Are such organisations vital? What more can the Government do?
Boxing clubs like Fight for Peace support young people's physical and mental health. Between 2022 and 2029, funding for England Boxing will be over £9 million through Sport England. I would be delighted to visit the constituency and discuss further.

Context
There is a reduction in the number of urban cricket domes, scrapping of the National Citizen Service, and an argument over funding for school sport.
What are the Government doing to address the situation? Can the Minister give examples in our urban communities where things are improving?
The previous Government did not fund cricket domes but this Government has, announcing two new ones and £400 million for grassroots sports. The National Citizen Service was replaced by the national youth strategy, which is the first in over 10 years.
