Up2U has developed over the years and became a registered charity in 2001. However, one of the ongoing issues for Up2U, as with many other charities, is the issue of funding. A key role for the project worker is to continually seek sources of funding in order to continue with the work of Up2U.

Up2U also intends to develop a parent counselling service, including classes for parents and providing a referral point for statutory agencies in the area.

The Young People’s Advocacy Project is a pilot project and is running for 15 months from May 2006 to July 2007. At this stage it is uncertain if the project will continue beyond the end of the pilot stage.
