There are 5 key objectives that the Funding Programme Board aim to achieve:
1
Increased openness around Youth Service decision making that includes consensus on key principles and terms and that adheres to the EA’s vision, mission, and values.
3
That the needs of children and young people remain the foundation for how youth provision, both regionally and locally, is developed.
5
The bureaucratic burden on groups is reduced to a proportionate and appropriate level for all processes required by the scheme.
2
Increased assurance that the EA is meeting both its statutory duty and policy requirements in a manner that provides value for money against this extremely challenging financial backdrop.
4
Build confidence and trust with all youth organisations through proactive engagement, using an evidence-based approach, and being open and transparent on decisions taken.
