The over 220 community groups in Westmeath that received special grant aid
Some 227 projects in Westmeath were supported through the 2020 Community Enhancement Programme (CEP).
The full list of funded projects was published today as Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys and Minister of State with responsibility for Community Development and Charities, Joe O’Brien confirmed that nationally 3,000 projects have been supported through the 2020 Community Enhancement Programme (CEP).
The programme, funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development, is designed to support community groups, particularly in disadvantaged areas, through the provision of small capital grants.
Among the projects funded in 2020 include childcare groups and playgrounds, recreational groups, community gardens and premises, sports grounds and initiatives that support the elderly.
There were two rounds of this funding in 2020 – June and August - with a total of €7m available to improve facilities.
The funding followed open application processes which were administered by Local Community Development Committees (LCDCs) in each Local Authority area.
It is intended to run the programme again in 2021.
Here are all 227 grant awards made to Westmeath-based organisations in 2020
