The 2nd round was launched in December 2020 to provide grants to community groups to assist them:
• with day to day running costs
• to adapt their services and operations to fit the new COVID-19 reality. Examples of measures supported could be adapting premises to allow for social distancing; offering on-line activities; providing social supports and friendly calls by phone etc.
• to become more involved in the Government’s ‘Keep Well’ campaign. The grants are aimed at assisting participation in the campaign, in particular with the three themes: staying connected, switching off and being creative, and minding your mood.
Based on the amount available €46,548 to Tipperary for this scheme grants will be capped at €500.
