Community Services Programme

From: Department of Rural and Community Development

The Community Services Programme provides funding towards hiring additional staff for organisations to meet local service gaps, through a social enterprise model. This allows supported communities to access services and facilities that might otherwise be unavailable.

Three strands are supported:

  • community services for the disadvantaged (home insulation, disability transport, meals-on-wheels day care, social activities, personal security, visitation services, community radio and other media)
  • employing people distant from the labour market, including people with disabilities, travellers, recovering drug misusers and ex-prisoners. The company or co-op must demonstrate some form of progression of the workers
  • buildings for community use, such as town halls, and facilities which enable the day-to-day operation of community infrastructure
