LIVE Here Love Here has announced the return of its small grants scheme in partnership with Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive.

The scheme aims to financially support community-based environmental projects across Northern Ireland that need financial support to maintain their efforts for creating a cleaner, greener and safer place to live.

Successful applicants will receive a grant between £500 to £3,000.

Cavanaleck Community Association, who have previously received aid through the scheme, said: “Last year, funding from Live Here Love Here allowed us to run an intergenerational programme, during which we gave pottery pots to older people to paint and design.

“During the pandemic, we also provided flower pots to every house in the area. This has allowed people to grow their own flowers or herbs and to remain connected to friends and family that they’ve been unable to see for some time by sharing cuttings.”

To apply for the Small Grants Scheme ahead of the closing date of noon on May 10, see liveherelovehere.org.
