€40,000 grant for Burt community
22.02.08
BURT Parish Community
Group is to receive €40,000 to help it refurbish its
community facilities. The money has been awarded
under the Government's Programme of Grants for
Locally-Based Organisations. It was welcomed
yesterday by Moville-based Fianna Fáil Senator
Cecilia Keaveney.
“This programme provides once-off grants to
locally-based community and voluntary groups towards
the refurbishment of community facilities. The Burt
Group will receive €40,000 under the 2008 programme
and I have no doubt that this money will go a long
way in continuing the group's work," she said.
She praised people who diligently sought the
available grants.
"I commend all those involved in working within the
community that do the important work of acquiring
the necessary information to allow the grant to be
drawn down, and then ensure that the necessary work
is completed.
"This is the first round of funding under the
current programme in 2008 and underlines the
Government's continued support for the efforts of
voluntary organisations at a local level." |
