Four Organisations in Louth Have Been Awarded Funding Today Under a National Lottery Grant Programme

I can confirm that four organisations in Louth have been awarded funding today under a National Lottery Grant programme.

The organisations and their corresponding grants include: 

-Louth Community Drug and Alcohol Team to roll out enhanced services in a new premises
-Hidden Treasures After School Club Dundalk to purchase physical activity equipment
-Irish Wheelchair Association Drogheda to purchase a storage unit
-Dignity 4 Patients Drogheda to upgrade IT

The monies awarded will have a positive impact on these services and I want to commend my colleague in the Department of Health, Minister Kathleen Lynch, for her input. 

These are once-off grants made available through the Department’s National Lottery Discretionary fund specifically for the provision of health-related services. The fund is aimed at community groups and voluntary organisations all over Ireland and I am pleased that our own locality is one of those communities to benefit.

A second round of grants under the fund will be announced in November.
