My Department’s Community and Voluntary Supports and Programmes provide a cohesive framework of support for the community and voluntary sector. This programme supports 21 Volunteer Centres, 8 Volunteer Information Services in areas which do not currently have a full-time Volunteer Centre, as well as a number of national organisations such as Volunteer Ireland and Young Social Innovators.

Details of the allocations and amounts paid to the Volunteer Centres are set out in the following table. These allocations are paid in two annual tranches. In addition, a specific allocation has been paid annually since 2016 to Volunteer Ireland to support the Volunteer Information Services in areas not served by Volunteer Centres. This allocation amounted to some €11,000 per Volunteer Information Service per annum.

Work is currently underway in relation to the 2019 allocations which will be notified to all Volunteer Centres shortly.
