By "youth services" I mean: Services supporting young people with their personal and social development as well as health, lifestyle or career aspirations, enabling them to achieve their full potential in their transition to adulthood. These can be services directly funded and provided by the council, or those where the council provides grant funding to a voluntary, charitable or other organisation to deliver those services.
