I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly in relation to any support or assistance which may be available to the group in question. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office and my officials will follow the matter up.

In relation to funding, my Department administers a National Lottery Discretionary Fund, from which once-off grants are paid to community and voluntary organisations providing a range of health-related services. Organisations wishing to make an application for National Lottery Funding should submit a formal application. Further information about the grant scheme, along with the application form, are set out on the Department's website at www.health.gov.ie.

The closing date for applications is 1st May 2015.
