To the Lord Mayor and Report No. 04/2020 Members of Dublin City Council Report of the Assistant Chief Executive _________________________________________________________________________ Dublin City Community Enhancement Programme and Men’s Shed Funding 2019 On 27th March the Community Enhancement Programme 2019 was launched by Minister Michael Ring, TD and formal notification and departmental guidelines were issued to the Chief Officer of the LCDC on 5th April 2019. The Department of Rural and Community Development allocated €212,306 to the Dublin City Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) for the awarding of capital grants to local community and voluntary groups, not for profit organisations and State departments or agencies. A Sub-Committee of the then LCDC Committee met on 18th April to agree how to proceed with the programme in Dublin City and set the following criteria against which applications would be assessed: Potential of the proposed project to contribute to the achievement of Goal 2 of the Dublin City Local Economic and Community Plan 2016-2021: – “Work in partnership with communities to promote social inclusion, tackle poverty and disadvantage, and promote participation, empowerment and positive social change.” Priority to be given to groups or organisations working in areas of disadvantage or with individuals or communities impacted by disadvantage (assessment will rely equally on Pobal small area maps and local knowledge). Prioritise community and voluntary groups working at a local level. Geographical balance and desirability to fund a variety of projects. Demonstrated need for the project and number of people that will benefit. Demonstrated collaboration with other organisations. The scheme was open for applications from 10 May to 14 June 2019. Notification of the scheme was issued to the full membership of the Dublin City Public Participation Network (PPN), to Dublin City Council Community Officers and to the four Local Development Companies and the Inner City Co-op to share with groups and organisations in their area. Details were also available at www.dublincity.ie. On 28th June a further €39,267 was allocated to Dublin City to be ring-fenced for small-scale capital grants for Men’s and Women’s Sheds within the Dublin City administrative area. Only Men’s Sheds that were affiliated with the Irish Men’s Sheds Association were eligible to apply and only Women’s Sheds that were not affiliated to any other parent organisation and who had an appropriate organisational structure in place were also eligible to apply. This scheme was open for applications from 29th July to 22nd August 2019. Following local elections and changes to the membership of the LCDC a new Sub-Committee was formed who met on 18th September to assess all applications made under the Community Enhancement Programme and Men’s and Women’s Sheds 2019. The recommendations of the Sub-Committee were approved by the full LCDC at its meeting on Wednesday, 23rd October 2019.
