In Scotland today there are approximately 32,000 young people between the ages of 14 to 19 who have not been able to make a successful transition between school and further education, training or work.

Inspiring Scotland’s 14:19 Fund aims to significantly reduce this number by investing in co-ordinated delivery of targeted work by the voluntary sector. Significant funding will be delivered over a 7-10 year period, with investment targeted at the areas of greatest need.

The 14:19 Fund was launched in 2008 and currently invests in 22 ventures all working to significantly reduce the number of young people who are not able to make a successful transition from school.

In 2010 4,577 young people were actively engaged in venture services and 2,267 were supported into employment, education or training.
