Charities across England and Wales will be able to bid for new money to run programmes designed to steer young people away from law-breaking and into positive activities aimed at teaching teamwork, resilience and discipline.
Charities and organisations wanting to deliver sports programmes will be able to bid for the money – with hundreds of organisations expected to benefit from the funding.
