FURTHER FUNDING
The DCSF have announced a further £8.25 million to give thousands more disadvantaged young people the opportunity to produce creative media projects. Children and Young People's Minister Beverley Hughes said:

"I am delighted to announce that we are continuing to support and fund Mediabox. This is a vital scheme which helps thousands of young people across the country, particularly those who face challenges, get involved in exciting media projects. For most young people it's the first opportunity for them to have their say as well as developing new skills and the chance to be creative."

"Mediabox projects have been showcased to a wide audience, enabling young people to have a voice in the media, bringing positive changes to their lives and communities and giving them a sense of real achievement. This boosts young people's self confidence and broadens their personal and career horizons. I look forward to hearing more from young people through future Mediabox projects."
