In September 2003 I announced the successful applicants for two funding initiatives arising from the White Paper on a framework for supporting voluntary activity, the funding scheme to support the role of federations, networks and umbrella bodies in the community and voluntary sector and the funding scheme for training and supports in the community and voluntary sector.
The training and supports scheme operates on a multi-annual basis with successful applicants receiving total funding of €1.83 million over a three year period. The funding allocated to the scheme was €670,000 in 2003, €580,000 in the current year and €580,000 in 2005.
The first tranche of funding issued in late 2003 to the successful applicants, which are listed in the following appendix.
