6,000 Euro funding available for Community Projects in the Burren

Over the past 3 years, ChangeX Burren has been promoting initiatives that seek to improve community wellbeing in the Burren.

We are delighted to announce that ChangeX Burren will provide a small amount of funding to existing and new projects. Thanks to the Community Foundation for Ireland, there will be several Community Wellbeing Awards of amounts between €250 and €500 presented to successful applicants during the Burren Winterage Weekend at the end of October this year.

Who Can Apply?

Anyone who is already involved in a ChangeX initiative in the Burren as well as anyone thinking of starting a new one can apply. The aim of your project should be to seek to improve your community’s overall wellbeing.

What To Apply For

Whether you are planning to start a Men’s Shed or buy equipment for an existing one, or applying for printing costs to promote your initiative, or keen to get momentum going for a community garden in your area, this money can help you get to the next stage.

For some additional inspiration, have a look at the ChangeX online platform where there are lots of new ideas such as parkrun, TechSpace, Repair Café, The GreenPlan, Community Fridge – all ideas that could work well in Burren communities.
