Creating Better Youth Spaces for Young People

We have been awarded a Better Youth Spaces grant! This is great news for young people, supported by Hybrid 3.

The grant will pay for brand new music and studio equipment to benefit young people in Sheffield and South Yorkshire. This new equipment will allow us to provide even better services for our local young people.

Our mission at Hybrid is to make the world of music and sound accessible to everyone. This grant will help us to empower and uplift our community by providing young people with professional facilities to explore their creativity.

Better Youth Spaces is a £30.5m Government grant fund to support youthwork in key areas in England, administered by Social Investment Business (SIB).

Nick Temple, CEO for Social Investment Business, that manages the Better Youth Spaces fund, said: “We are excited to be partnering with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to support youth services in priority areas in England and create ‘better youth spaces’ for young people. Through a combination of funding refurbishment projects and providing new equipment, it will bring opportunities for young people to participate in a whole range of enrichment activities – across sports, music and cultural activities. The fund will also help to expand access, create safer spaces, and make youth services more sustainable. This is a real boost for youth services in some of the communities which need it most, creating lasting impact for young people’s wellbeing.”
