Community group training Sept 18, SHORE project grants open until November 20

A community training session is being held in Drumshanbo on Thursday evening as part of efforts to support local groups across County Leitrim. The free session, running from 7 to 9 pm, is aimed at members of the Public Participation Network and will focus on fundraising strategies and addressing common challenges faced by community organisations.

The training comes as the SHORE project announces an open call for applications from schools interested in developing water literacy initiatives. Organisations selected for the programme can access grants of up to €10,000 to support their projects. The application window for SHORE funding remains open until 20 November.

Community groups in the area are being encouraged to take advantage of both opportunities, with the training session providing practical insights into securing resources and managing group operations, while the SHORE grants offer targeted financial support for educational water projects.

Full details are available through Leitrim Public Participation Network.
