At M&Y, our commitment to building better communities extends beyond constructing homes. We are thrilled to announce our recent success in securing a coveted spot as a named supplier on Fusion21’s groundbreaking Youth Investment Fund Framework. This partnership marks a significant step towards our mission of empowering young people and fostering positive change within our communities.
The Youth Investment Fund: Nurturing the Future
Administered by the Social Investment Business (SIB), the Youth Investment Fund Phase 2 is set to distribute grants exceeding £300 million. These funds will be channeled into creating, expanding, and enhancing youth facilities, with a focus on providing activities that promote improved mental and physical wellbeing, as well as essential life and work skills for young people.
This initiative aligns perfectly with M&Y’s core values and commitment to creating vibrant, thriving communities where individuals can flourish. By investing in the youth of today, we are building a brighter future for tomorrow.
Fusion21: Pioneering Procurement for Positive Change
As the procurement partner for the Youth Investment Fund Framework, Fusion21 will play a pivotal role in ensuring that grant recipients can successfully procure contracts for various vital services, including building refurbishment, new construction, modular building, and consultancy services. This partnership will streamline the process, making it easier for organizations to realize their projects and maximize their impact on youth development.
M&Y’s Role in the Framework
We are proud to announce that M&Y has been appointed to two key lots within the framework:
Lot 1: Building Refurbishment Lot 2: New Build Construction
Our extensive experience in delivering high-quality new build properties makes us well-prepared to take on the challenges and opportunities presented by these lots. We are enthusiastic about working on a diverse range of projects that will directly benefit young people in our communities.
