BY MARY O'CONNOR A 50,000 additional cash boost for local community and voluntary groups will provide vital support for the continued development of Galway's voluntary sector. So says Minister for Labour Affairs Frank Fahey. He was responding to the news that Minister Noel Ahern had allocated 900,000 for community and voluntary groups across the country. The additional funding will be awarded through the programme of grants for locally based community and voluntary organisations which provides support through once-off grants for the equipment and refurbishment of premises. This is complemented by a second scheme which funds training, education and research initiatives in the local community. "Grant aid such as these grants provide vital support for the continued development of Galway's voluntary sector," says Minister Fahey. "This additional funding will enhance the capacity of local groups to target the disadvantaged by providing support to wider range of projects which strengthen and increase the skills and knowledge of all involved." This significant investment in local voluntary groups recognises the vital importance of this sector in the county, he says. "The funding will have a hugely positive effect within these groups and more importantly for the people they deal with every day."
