Galway County Council recognises that local communities are one of our greatest resources, and in recognition of this has developed the Community Support Schemes.
The purpose of the support schemes is to encourage and enable community and voluntary groups to actively participate in the development of their communities, the funding is intended to support projects and events that improve all aspects of local areas and deliver benefits to the wider community.
