East Clare Community Co-Operative Society Limited has received funds under the Community Services for a number of years. The funds are provided as a contribution to the management and delivery of a range of services to the community of Scarriff and its environs.

Under the terms of the Programme, East Clare Co-operative is required to generate a significant proportion of the income needed to resource and develop its services from non-public sources. Grants to beneficiaries of the CSP are paid in the form of a contribution to wages. In 2010, €41,438 was paid to the co-operative, €41,520 was paid in 2011, €43,441 in 2012 and €39,878 has been paid thus far in 2013.
