South Dublin County Public Participation Network (SDC PPN) was delighted to support the recent Local Environmental Action Fund (LEAF) Information Session, delivered in partnership with South Dublin County Council.
The session provided community and voluntary groups with an overview of the new €100,000 LEAF Fund, including eligibility criteria, the types of projects that can be funded, and guidance on preparing a strong application.
Attendees had the opportunity to learn more about how the fund can support local initiatives that promote:
- Biodiversity
- Climate action
- Environmental enhancement
- Sustainability
- Community collaboration
The information session also gave participants the chance to ask questions and gain practical advice on developing projects that will make a positive impact within their local communities.
