The Community Services Programme (CSP) supports around 400 community organisations to provide local services through a social enterprise model. CSP funding is provided as a fixed annual co-funding contribution to the cost of a manager and an agreed number of full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, with €32,000 per annum provided for a manager and €19,033 per annum for each FTE position.

The CSP contribution is based on a 39-hour working week. It is not aligned to the national minimum wage, rather it is a fixed annual contribution that must be co-funded by the organisation concerned from other sources, for example, from income received from the public use of their facilities and services.

The following table sets out the requested information.
