A total of 56 community and voluntary groups across Co Wexford are to receive grants from the Department of Health to a total of €1.25m.
The grants are designed to help these groups in their really important work in all our communities to deal with rising costs. The largest grant of over €208,000 is to go to St Aidan’s Services in Gorey.
Senator Malcolm Byrne, says “Like everybody else, groups in our communities have faced rising costs in recent times and government has to help as the services provided are essential and often support the most vulnerable. The 56 groups across Wexford are critical to health and social care across the County.”
He added that,“I know many of these groups and the wonderful work they do. Some had asked me to try ensure that government support was made available to help with rising costs. This announcement will at least help meet some of those challenges.”
Wexford TD and Minister of State for Law Reform James Browne has also welcomed the funding “I’m delighted to confirm that my Government colleagues and I have allocated funds to over 50 voluntary health organisations in County Wexford.
“I’m confident that some of these grants will go a long way towards helping voluntary health organisations in the smooth continuation of their care services as they deal with the challenges posed by inflation.
Minister Browne listed some of the other organisations that will benefit: “Over €287,000 will be distributed to County Wexford Community Workshop services in Enniscorthy and New Ross. Ard Aoibhinn in Wexford (An Breacadh Nua) will benefit from a grant worth €179,477. Brothers of Charity Services, which oversees services in Duffcarrig, Ballymoney, will receive over €73,000.
“I’m delighted that these grants will make a difference to many voluntary health organisations in County Wexford and I will continue to do my utmost to work with Government colleagues to assist these hard-working voluntary health organisations”, Minister Browne concluded.
