Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys has announced an investment to support 102 local projects across County Monaghan.
Under the Local Enhancement Programme, over €130,000 will be delivered to support Community Groups, Sports clubs, Residents Associations, Tidy Towns organisations, Women's Groups and much more. The Local Enhancement Programme was launched in December 2023 with funding of €6 million available, which included €1 million in funding ring-fenced specifically to support Women's Groups.
The funding will provide capital supports essential for the many small community groups and organisations, particularly those who serve disadvantaged areas in rural and urban areas. The Department of Rural and Community Development's Local Enhancement Programme 2024 is administered by Local Community Development Committees, with support from the Local Authority, in each area.
Announcing the successful projects for Co. Monaghan, Minister Humphreys said the Local Enhancement Programme is about giving a helping hand to our local groups and clubs, who are the building blocks of Irish community life.
