FUSION21
Alcema has been appointed to the Fusion 21 Youth Investment Fund (YIF) Framework which is specifically aimed at creating, expanding and improving youth facilities to deliver positive outcomes for young people, including improved mental and physical wellbeing, and skills for life and work.
FUSION21 YOUTH INVESTMENT FUND FRAMEWORK
The Youth Investment Fund is being delivered by Social Investment Business (SIB) who will be distributing grants as part of a £300m programme on behalf of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). This is the second phase of the Youth Investment Fund (YIF2) – Fusion21 is the procurement partner for this phase.
The framework ensures construction companies such as Alcema deliver new and redeveloped sustainable facilities that create true social value, enabling more positive activities that deliver improved outcomes for young people. The framework was created with social value at its heart, and with local authorities promoting this at every level, Alcema strives to maximise social value with every project undertaken.
