Aughrim Community Group
At the Aughrim community Group Meeting held recently, it was stated that the Committee had been awarded a grant of €4,000.00, funded by the Department of Rural and Community Development under the Community Enhancement Programme. This grant is conditional on the grant being used by December 31st, 2021. Also, it was stated that a grant of €400.00 had been awarded from Wicklow County Council;
under the Council’s Community Grants Scheme, which is conditional on the grant being used by January 31st. 2022. The notification of these grants was warmly welcomed by the Committee. There is a great group of Volunteers doing work each week, as you may have noticed, but there is a need for more. So if you wish to join this group it would be appreciated as the necessary work will need to be carried out by the above dates in order to utilise this funding for the community of Aughrim. Please help if you can.
