The purpose of the scheme of community support for older people is to encourage and assist the community's support for older people by means of a community-based grant scheme to improve the security of its older members. Funding under the scheme can be provided for small scale security equipment designed to strengthen points of entry to the dwelling; for security lighting and for the once-off cost of installing socially monitored personal alarm systems. In 2004 the scheme was extended to include smoke alarms.

The names, addresses and amounts paid to groups in County Mayo under this scheme for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 are listed below.
