Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced an £88 million package for youth clubs and schools as he warned children are “too often isolated at home” facing the challenges of the online world.
The funding will be aimed at delivering services like new climbing walls, music lessons and outdoor activities in a bid to slow the “worrying” trend of young people “detached from the real world”, Downing Street said.
