The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what the value of the Young Scots Fund is and how much has been allocated, broken down by (a) recipient and (b) value of grant.
The answer
The £50 million Young Scots Fund is a manifesto commitment covering the five year term of this Parliament. £25.4 million has been allocated to the fund in the current Spending Review period for the three financial years 2012-13 to 2014-15.
The focus of the Young Scots Fund is support for emerging young talent in sport, enterprise and creativity. I have already announced funding of £3 million for the National Conservation Centre to be established by Historic Scotland in Stirling to train young people in the traditional skills needed to sustain Scotland’s historic environment; and £5 million for the National Centre for Youth Arts in Glasgow.
The Minister for Youth Employment has also announced that £2 million of the Young Scots fund will be used to support Opportunities for All through the Youth Employment Commonwealth Games Skills Legacy fund.
Announcements of further allocations will be made in due course.
