The Children and Youth Services Development Unit of my Office provided a grant of €111,586 to the Bru Youth Service under the Special Projects for Youth Scheme and current funding of €241,500 under the Young People's Facilities and Services Fund (Round 2 funding stream) in 2009.
The budget for 2010 for the Children and Youth Services Development Unit is €64.89m. The process of determining my Office's financial allocations for 2010 is under way. As in 2009, the focus will be on consolidating, insofar as possible, existing provision and services to minimise the impact of reductions in funding across a number of schemes and programmes under my remit. Every effort will be made to notify the various youth work organisations and administering agencies of their 2010 allocations as speedily as possible.
