Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys, has today announced almost €270,000 for 76 local projects in Cavan under the 2021 Community Activities Fund.
The 2021 Community Activities Fund was launched in November 2021 with funding of €9m available. Cavan received an allocation of €269,514 from the Department under the fund. The key theme of the fund is to support groups, particularly in disadvantaged areas, with their running costs such as utility or insurance bills, as well as with improvements to their facilities.
Minister Humphries says while these grants are small in nature, they can make a big difference by allowing local community organisations to carry out "much needed works" in their area.
Groups will also be able to use the funding to carry out necessary repairs and to purchase equipment such as tables and chairs, tools and signage, laptops and printers, lawnmowers, canopies and training equipment.
These could include facilities such as community centres, men’s and women’s sheds, parish halls and youth centres.
A list of the 76 local projects to receive funding can be found here.
