Following a reform process, the UBU Your Place Your Space scheme was launched in December 2019 and became fully operational on 1 July 2020. At the time of becoming fully operational, 252 organisations had successfully applied for funding under the scheme. 

My Department currently allocates targeted youth funding of €41.8 million via the UBU Your Place Your Space scheme. The mission of the scheme is to provide out-of-school supports to marginalised, disadvantaged or vulnerable young people in their communities to enable them to overcome adverse circumstances and achieve their full potential.
