The Department of Rural and Community Development has announced details of when the main capital investment schemes will be opening in 2023.

Encouraging community groups to apply, Minister Heather Humphreys said: “There has never been as many opportunities for local community groups to access funding for rural and community development projects. I am anxious to make this funding as accessible as possible, and with this in mind I am now publishing the details of when the main capital investment schemes will be open for applications in 2023.

“This will help community groups and local authorities to see what funding is available, and when, and will assist them in the planning of their applications”.

The 2023 schemes include: the Town and Village Renewal Scheme, the Community Centre Investment Fund, the CLÁR Programme, and the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme
