The Mayor of London today announced that he will provide £20 million to boroughs to match funding they receive from government through the Youth Opportunity Fund (YOF) and Positive Activities for Young People (PAYP).
Summary/Abstract: In September 2002, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted Arts for All: Los Angeles County Regional Blueprint for Arts Education, a strategic plan to restore arts education -- in dance, music, theatre, and the visual arts -- to the 1.7 million students in Los Angeles County's 81 school districts. The Arts for All Executive Committee, with more than 100 partners and managed by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, leads this effort. The initiative, having completed its sixth year, has made great strides.
Nuggets: Although it talks about material linked to FLIF, it does mention how these connect to major themes touched upon by other policies:
The materials link to Every Child Matters outcomes and focus on four areas:
* community cohesion (including neighbourhood participation, community safety (especially issues around guns), gangs and knives) * health and wellbeing (including sport, healthy eating) * arts and culture (including encouraging reading, museum work) * sustainable development (including global trade, sustainable living).
The government is urging local authorities to improve awareness of positive activities in their areas to increase participation following research published this week. Aug 09 - 2009
The research , commissioned by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), said low awareness of available activities, peer pressure, lack of self-confidence and lack of time all acted as barriers to positive activities. Researchers questioned 144 young people aged 13 to 19 for the study, which found that despite barriers when young people did participate in activities they were enjoyable, allowed them to socialise, and helped them to feel good. Children's minister Dawn Primarolo said:...
Nugget: we could connect "awareness" - with FLF and perhaps look at some youth activities? - urban dancing, wot else? ;-)
Chief inspector, Christine Gilbert, said: "Family learning can transform the lives of children and parents, helping them to break the cycle of deprivation and educational underachievement."
nugget: pp 7. on the virtual scroll page, and also pp. 25 printed at bottom right-hand side of the page (were it to be printed) has fab table of factors that influence vulnerability and propensity for crime. Which knock me down with a feather corresponds to deprived areas and typical factors you would expect. Hurrah, more evidence ;-)
Also links to every child matters and local council objectives with their youth crime prevention plan
nugget: pp. 10. on the virtual scroll page, and also pp. 11 printed at bottom right-hand side of the page (were it to be printed) has fab bullet points about impact of cultural activities and their contribution to wider agendas. This is near top of page under heading: "culture contributes to wider agendas by:"
Nugget: concret programmes and actions in countries around the world related to youth crime. If you want radical evidence and concrete results, with a maverick innovative twist.... Well, it will probably be covered here ;-)
That's all, need to catch some ZZZ - 2am now and I'm all out of steam ;-( but really, really enjoyed the journey though. Hopefully you'll love investigating the stuff I found, as much as I loved finding it ;-)

Two ideas that I have for 'quick grants' are:
Awards for All: http://www.awardsforall.org.uk/england/index.html which funds small-scale projects (up to £10k) and funding for story-telling projects, which are particularly aimed at families of disabled children: http://www.mla.gov.uk/what/programmes/setting_pace/festival%20of%20storytelling
I guess you could also see what local grant-making trusts would be able to offer funding?
