LIMERICK communities can now apply for supports to respond to the waste crisis by implementing new Circular Economy Action Plans to cut waste.
Community Foundation Ireland and environmental campaigners VOICE Ireland are giving local groups access to expertise, training, and funding to embrace the principles of the circular economy.
Local groups will be supported through online training, resource packs, and access to experts to develop Community Circular Economy Action Plans which will be supported by grants of up to €2,500.
According to its website, Community Foundation Ireland and its donors “are on a shared mission of equality for all in thriving communities.”
“Together with 5,000 voluntary, community and charitable partners we are a philanthropic hub for Ireland which is a source of knowledge, expertise and information to ensure effective and strategic giving.”
VOICE is a member-based Irish environmental charity that empowers individuals and local communities to take positive action to conserve our natural resources.
Their mission is to bring about a world “where resources are used wisely and continually— a fully circular economy.”
“This will only be achieved through the inclusion of all communities and the principles of a just transition,” they state.
More details about the Circular Economy Action Plans are available on CommunityFoundation.ie.
