Community and voluntary groups across County Galway are being allocated nearly €300k in funding for events, services, and projects.
The 267 community and voluntary groups have been awarded funding for projects and events from playground upgrades to pollinator planting and from arts festivals to graveyard maintenance.
Galway County Council have approved €276,830 in grant funding under the local authority’s Community Support Schemes, in addition to €18,000 under Fáilte Ireland’s Festival & Participate Events Programme.
Cllr. Liam Carroll, Cathaoirleach of Galway County Council stated, “On behalf of the Elected Members, I want to thank all community groups who work tirelessly for their local communities and thrive to make our local areas a better place to live, work and visit.”
“Galway County Council’s Community Support Schemes this year attracted a high level of interest, which is reflective of the level of voluntary work ongoing across the county.”
The Community Support Schemes encourage community and voluntary groups to take an active part in the development of their communities by providing small-scale funding for projects which are of benefit to their local community and improve the economic, community and cultural aspects of their surrounding areas.
Grants awarded this year range from support to improve local amenities and support for groups who promote and increase knowledge and awareness of the arts, heritage and to Irish language, to collaborative business promotional initiatives, festivals and participative events that seek to increase footfall in towns and villages and drive economic growth.
Liam Conneally, Chief Executive of Galway County Council commented, “The Community Support Schemes will enable over a quarter of a million euro to be invested in the local community and voluntary sector.”
“This investment would not be possible without the work and volunteerism provided by our communities and citizens who play a vital part in keeping communities alive and improving the quality of life and wellbeing in Galway.”
