Ballyspillane Community and Family Resource Centre will receive €40,266 as they’re one of 17 Kerry services that will receive funding from the Government’s Community Services Programme (CSP).

The CSP supports community-based organisations delivering vital services through a social enterprise model. Nationwide, some €46 million will be made available under the Programme in 2019.

“The CSP currently supports community-based organisations to provide local social, economic and environmental services through a social enterprise model, providing a contribution towards the cost of their staff,” said Killarney-based Fine Gael Senator, Paul Coghlan.

“It typically supports organisations to meet local service gaps and provide access to services and facilities that would otherwise generally be unavailable. Eligible organisations are supported under three strands: community halls and facilities, community services for disadvantaged communities and community organisations employing people distant from the labour market.”

The total figure allocated to County Kerry across the 17 beneficiaries is around €1.7m.
