Fianna Fáil TD for Louth, Erin McGreehan has hailed the allocation of funding for Louth/Meath ETB for UBU Your Place Your Space youth services, announced today.
Louth/Meath ETB will be allocated funding for UBU services as part of an overall allocation of 10 new UBU Your Space Your Place youth services nationwide.
McGreehan says it will “support vulnerable young people in communities and ensure they have access to safe spaces”.
“I am delighted that Louth/Meath ETB is included in today’s funding from the Department for new UBU Your Place Your Space youth services. These services are vital for vulnerable young people in our communities, and the inclusion of the Louth/Meath region is most welcome,” she said.
UBU Your Place Your Space is the Department of Education’s largest targeted youth funding programme. The programme supports approximately 68,000 young people nationwide each year.
McGreehan added: “The UBU Programme is aimed at reaching the most marginalised, vulnerable, or at-risk young people across the county. This scheme also aims to improve personal and social development outcomes, ensuring they get ample opportunities like others.
Concluding she said the new services will be “a great initiative for young people” and “give them targeted and youth led supports”.
“The new UBU services for Louth and Meath will see a targeted, youth worker-led support for disadvantaged young people, and I look forward to seeing it being rolled out.
