| Healthy Ireland Fund
|
· Very brief summary of applications under this fund was circulated for approval
· Asked for Support and Capacity Building for groups applying for funding · Want to set up a Funding Sub-committee however this is difficult as most community reps could have conflict of interest. Need further clarification · Co. Clare has signed up for Healthy County initiative which will support the National Framework and will along with CYPSE develop a plan for health and wellbeing |
Note: More and more funding programmes are being administered through LCDC yet LCDC does not have final say just a role in recommending to relevant department. This is not a good process. |
| SICAP – Social Inclusion Community Activation Programme (with CLDC)
|
· New SICAP is in place for 2018 – 2022
· Closing date for tenders is 29th September Social Inclusion Sub-group to meet to evaluate tenders – training for members of sub-group available through Pobal |
I have asked that when sub-groups etc are being established through the LCDC that social inclusion representation is not just confined to myself and Dermot as we are stretched – this is being considered and I will let you all know the outcome.
The training guide to completing the individual registration form gives more info on new SICAP and worth reading – Link to document |
