The scheme of community support for older people encourages and assists local support for older people by means of a community-based grant scheme to improve the security of its older members. Funding under the scheme can be provided for small scale security equipment designed to strengthen points of entry to the dwelling; for security lighting and for the once-off cost of installing socially monitored personal alarm systems. In 2004 the scheme was expanded to include smoke alarms.
The scheme is administered by community and voluntary organisations throughout the country with support provided by my Department. Any local voluntary or community-based organisation especially those working with or providing support for older people can apply to the Department for funding under the scheme. Before applying, the applicant organisation should satisfy itself that it has the capacity and is in a position to meet the conditions associated with administration of the scheme as set out in the guidelines.
Following is a list of organisations in the Dublin area which received funding to date under the 2004 scheme. The 2005 scheme will be advertised in the coming months.
