An allocation of €160,672 is available to Cork County Council’s Local Community Development Committees for 2019. The funding will support a broad range of projects aimed at enhancing facilities in disadvantaged communities. All funding will support small scale capital projects and 30% of the total available funding is set aside for projects of €1,000 or less.
Last year, The Community Enhancement programme delivered renovations of community centres and community amenities, improvements to common areas, the purchase of equipment, signage, and more throughout County Cork for a wide variety of community organisations.
Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr. Patrick Gerard Murphy spoke highly of the programme, noting “As a County, we have a broad range of goals including economic prosperity, health, safety, social cohesion and happiness. Every town and village faces its own challenges in achieving these goals. The Community Enhancement Programme empowers community groups and organisations to overcome these challenges and provide targeted improvements in their communities. Last year, communities in Cork were able to avail of over €600,000 for local improvements. I encourage all interested parties to apply, so that we can repeat the success of last year’s projects”.
In order to facilitate the boundary transition, the deadline for applications for both County Cork and Cork City has been set at 28th June. Groups applying from the boundary transition area should submit their applications to Cork City Council. Cork County Council customers can apply online at www.yourcouncil.ie.
