UK Government Allocates £132.5m for After-School Clubs Amid Social Media Concerns

The UK Government has announced a new funding package for after-school clubs. The total amount allocated is £132.5 million. This move comes ahead of expected social media restrictions for those under 16. The funding aims to support educational activities outside of standard school hours. This initiative addresses the upcoming changes in digital access for younger populations. The government is positioning these clubs as a resource during the transition period.
