ETB issue tenders for Cavan Youth Service

Cavan and Monaghan ETB has issued tenders with a view to providing a new youth service to young people in the Cavan Town area.

This new project is being established in line with the UBU ‘Your Place Your Space’ scheme funded by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY).

UBU are the primary scheme for targeted, staff-led youth work provision, in respect of out-of-school projects.

CMETB has already administered funding for four UBUs in the region, which aim to support young people aged between 10 – 24 years who are experiencing economic, social and cultural disadvantage.

The tender issue states that the purpose of UBU is: ‘To provide out-of-school supports to young people in their local communities to enable them to overcome adverse circumstances and achieve their full potential by improving their personal and social development outcomes.’

Interested parties are required to have prior experience in delivering services provided by youth associations and in the welfare of children and young people.

The deadline for submissions is Monday, March 14.
