Kids' clubs get £132.5m before social media ban
This big cash injection aims to give children more activities as a social media ban for under-16s looms. The government announced £132.5 million for after-school clubs, hoping to tackle isolation found in a survey of 14,000 young people. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is expected to introduce the social media restrictions in the coming days.
