SOLAS and the network of Education and Training Boards (ETBs) are now inviting community education providers to apply for funding through the 2024 Reach Fund.
The Reach Fund delivers funding to improve access and support for educationally disadvantaged learners who participate in community education programmes across Ireland.
The overarching aim of this fund is to increase the participation of disadvantaged learners in education, particularly those who are undertaking literacy and skills programmes.
Community Education providers can apply for funding across several categories including learner assistance, green projects, support for refuge groups and digital supports.
Applications can be made by community education groups by completing a funding application available through adult education providers in your local ETB.
