Capital Grants To Fund 50 Youth Projects
Minister for Children and Youth Affairs Dr James Reilly has announced the allocation of capital grants to 50 youth projects and organisations throughout Ireland.
The funding is to provide assistance to youth projects to improve the facilities and equipment available for work with young people.
The grants will provide for the upgrade or replacement of equipment, or for the purchase of essential equipment to support the running of the project/organisation.
The funding could go towards mini-buses, IT and multimedia equipment, sport and outdoor pursuit equipment and other essential pieces such as furniture and kitchen upgrades.
Minister Reilly said: "I am very pleased to be in a position to announce the allocation of these grants to the 50 successful applicants. These youth services do vital work in some of the more disadvantaged communities in our society.
"I am confident this grant will assist in improving the quality of the services and their facilities to the benefit of young people involved. The provision of the funding underscores the Government's commitment to enhance the quality of services which add such value to our communities."
