The Clones Family Resource Centre is to receive €94,798 with its partner County Armagh Community Development for a 12 month 'Connect2Gether' project that will operate on a cross-border and cross-community basis in the Clones and Armagh areas.
Through a programme of activities and workshops, the programme will build connections and good working relationships between participants from the two communities.
