The Wheel is delighted to announce that applications are now open for the 2026-2028 Training Links programme. If your organisation wants to strengthen skills, collaborate with peers, and build long-term capacity, this is your opportunity!
Training Links supports community and voluntary organisations to form Training Networks – a group of independently run and governed community and voluntary sector organisations who decide to come together as a group to undertake training that they may not be able to do individually.
Training Networks are invited to apply for grants ranging from €10,000.00 to €50,000.00. This year’s total fund is €240,000.00.
Who is Eligible?
Applications are welcome from new and previously funded networks who have completed their programme or previously unsuccessful networks.
Training Links is open to networks of organisations that:
- Share a common training need
- Commit to working collaboratively
- Meet the programme eligibility criteria (full details available on The Wheel website).
The closing date for applications is Friday, 24th April 2026 at 5pm.
