Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2020
626. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the amount of funding provided to volunteer centres in each local authority area to enable the community call scheme; and the amount returned by each volunteer centre in tabular form. [10153/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn April 2020, my Department allocated funding of €267,960 to the 22 Volunteer Centres and 7 Volunteer Information Services to support their contribution to the Community Call response to the Covid-19 challenge. This funding was provided to Volunteer Ireland to distribute to each Volunteer Centre and Volunteer Information Service under a three month funding agreement. This is a once-off payment, in recognition of the difficulties that Volunteer Centres and Volunteer Information Services faced during this challenging time. The contract for this work is ongoing and the Volunteer Centres and Volunteer Information Services are continuing to use the funding provided to support those most vulnerable in our communities during the Covid-19 emergency.
The following table outlines the funding allocated to each Volunteer Centres and Volunteer Information Service.
