Helping Hands – information sessions for community groups on improving your grant applications.
The Helping Hands initiative is a series of six events providing information to community groups on how to submit good applications for grant funding.
They aim to provide hints and tips on how to make a better application and how to identify local supports that community groups can draw upon.
The events are aimed at community groups that have had no success or limited success previously, but all are welcome to attend.
The events in each area are run by the Department of Rural & Community Development, Pobal, the Local Authority, the Irish Local Development Network, and the Local Development Company/Companies.
