The community support scheme for older people encourages and assists the community's support for older people by means of a community-based grant scheme to improve the security of its older members.
The scheme is open to people aged 65 and over who have a genuine need for assistance within its provisions and is administered by community and voluntary organisations throughout the country, on an annual basis, with support provided by my Department. A list of such groups in the Kilkenny area that applied for funding under the 2005 scheme follows. The person in question may wish to contact one of the groups listed with a view to making an application to my Department on her behalf under the 2006 scheme, which will be advertised in the coming months.
In 2005 maximum individual grants provided under the scheme were: €300 for the once-off installation cost of socially monitored alarms; €150 for door locks, window locks and door chains; €150 for security lighting and €50 for smoke alarms.
