Just under €300,000 is available for Tipperary community groups affected by Covid-19.

The Department of Rural & Community Development has announced a Community Activities Fund totalling €9 million, which has a particular focus on disadvantaged areas.

This aims to support groups with every day running costs, as well as the purchasing of equipment.

The Tipperary funding will be administered by the Local Community Development Committee.
