“The Community Centres Investment Fund was launched by Minister Humphreys in April 2022 with funding of €15m available under three categories. The key theme of the fund is to support community groups with the upgrade and development of their Community Centre facilities. “Community centres which will receive funding include The Park Community Centre, Glenasmole Community Association and Fettercairn Community &Youth Centre.
