Seven New Applicants Announced for the Community Services Programme (CSP)
Joe O’Brien, Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Community Development, has announced 7 new entrants to the Community Services Programme (CSP).
7 organisations based in Monaghan, Dublin, Cavan, Galway, Tipperary, Donegal and Limerick are entering onto the programme and funding is being provided by the Department of Rural and Community Development towards the costs of 6 Managers and 15 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) positions across these organisations.
The Community Services Programme currently supports over 420 community-based organisations to provide local, social, economic and environmental services through a social enterprise model, providing a contribution towards the cost of staff in CSP organisations. It typically supports organisations to meet local service gaps and provide access to services and facilities that would otherwise generally be unavailable.
