Offaly Community Groups Receiving Over €250,000 In Funding

It's part of the Community Activities Fund.

Over 130 community groups in Offaly are set to benefit from a quarter of million euro Community Activities Fund.

The once-off funding will go towards the purchase of equipment, upgrade of facilities, and general running costs.

Projects that struggled to meet their operating costs during the pandemic are being prioritised.

The grants range from 110 euro up 8,000 and the beneficiaries include Kinnitty Community Centre, Tullamore Food Fayre and Rhode Community Pre-School.
