The Big Lottery Fund is delivering myplace on behalf of the Department for Education (DfE). This is not Lottery funding.

myplace aims to deliver world class youth facilities driven by the active participation of young people and their views and needs. myplace is funding 63 projects across England worth close to £240 million.

myplace offers a significant opportunity to those with the vision, ambition, and drive to deliver world class places for young people to go. It will reward those who:

• are developing plans for ambitious, world class places that will offer young people the widest possible range of high quality activities and co-located support services;
• are putting young people in the lead to plan and deliver dedicated youth projects driven by their views and needs;
• are working in partnership across sectors to develop robust, financially sustainable co-funded projects that respond to local needs and priorities; and
• require between £1m and £5m of capital investment to deliver an outstanding building project.

myplace is closed for applications and no further rounds of funding are planned. Many myplace centres are now open and all will be open by March 2013. For more information on project openings and to keep up to date with what’s happening please go to myplace support
