the possible shape and direction of  leisure-time provision for young people

a new 'youth offer' will include the chance for 2 hours pw of sports outside school hours and 2 hours of 'purposeful, supported activities'

children's trusts will 'deliver' the 'offer' - but schools will be the main site for a lot of the provision

a youth smart card introduced to pay for activities and as a way of gaining credits for voluntary work

local communities will gain more control over parks + community facilities, and with encouragement to the private sector,  the shape of some provision will alter

much voluntary provision may well remain outside the 'offer' because of the cost of including them
