Delighted to see Minister Hildegarde Naughton this week announce the expansion of the Summer Holiday Meals Pilot Programme for 2026.

This is a really important initiative for young people across the country during the summer holidays.

After a strong first year, the programme is growing significantly. The funding is now up from €500,000 to €600,000 and we are expanding it from 41 to 77 youth services nationwide.

This will mean a hot, substantial meals for young people aged 10–18 from June 2 throughout the summer holidays.

The fact that this programme now reaches all 16 Education and Training Boards is a testament to the hard work of the UBU Your Place Your Space services and everyone involved in delivering it on the ground.

No young person should go hungry during the summer months.

This expansion is exactly the kind of practical, targeted support that makes a real difference to families and communities all across the country.

Minister Naughton joined the Education & Training Boards Ireland conference on yesterday (pictured below with youth officers from accross the country.
