Minister Humphreys said: “I am delighted to announce €290,154 in funding for 178 local projects across County Mayo today as part of my Department’s Community Activities Fund. Through ‘Our Rural Future’, I want to support locally led, ground-up projects in local communities across the country. This funding is all about giving a helping hand to our local groups and clubs, which have continued to serve their community during COVID-19. 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.”
Minister Humphreys added: “As we make our way out of the pandemic I hope this funding will allow these community groups to continue their great work. This funding also builds on the over 8,000 projects already supported under my Department’s Community Enhancement Programme over the last number of years. I would like to thank Mayo County Council and Local Community Development Committee for their assistance in administering this fund.”
Deputy Dillon concluded “The Community Activities Fund provides a range of invaluable small grants to help the smaller community groups and facilities that support communities at a grassroots level, I know that this funding is an important tool in helping these groups in County Mayo and especially due to the impact of COVID-19, many of these groups would need supports to help them get back up and running fully. I want to congratulate the successful projects and to thank them for the vital work they do in providing services in their local communities, I also want to compliment my colleague Cllr Neil Cruise, chairman of Mayo LCDC, for his hard work regarding these applications.
