Hundreds of Northern Ireland grassroots organisations set to benefit from the Northern Ireland Office’s Community Partnership Fund
Co-operation Ireland, in partnership with Rural Action and NICVA, will receive up to £1 million over three years from the Northern Ireland Office’s (NIO) Community Partnership Fund to launch their ‘On the Radar: Pathways to Stronger Communities’ project. The initiative will engage hundreds of grassroots groups across Northern Ireland, offering tailored support.
Speaking at the launch event in Cooperation Ireland’s Belfast Headquarters, NIO Parliamentary Under Secretary of State Baroness Ruth Anderson praised the role of Northern Ireland’s community and voluntary sector.
“This £1 million grant award is great for Co-operation Ireland, Rural Action and NICVA, and for community and voluntary organisations across Northern Ireland.
“This grant will enable them to become a ‘single front door’ for Northern Ireland’s voluntary and community sector, sharing their considerable expertise in areas such as rural community development and cross-community peacebuilding to empower smaller local groups. “The Community Partnership Fund will be key to building a network of skills, knowledge and support which will enable organisations across Northern Ireland to flourish, to the benefit of their communities.”
