Delivering Differently for Young People is a £500,000 central government fund to help councils rethink the way youth services are delivered, so positive outcomes can be achieved for young people. The programme will support 10 local authorities to explore different delivery models that lie between in-house delivery at one end and traditional outsourcing at the other, with a view to creating a service that is sustainable in the long term. Examples of alternative ways of delivering youth services include public service mutuals, a partnership delivery with the voluntary sector, a partnership with community groups, or public-private partnerships. The fund is managed jointly by the Cabinet Office, the Department for Communities and Local Government, the Local Government Association and the Society of Local Authority Chief Executives.
