Calverstown achieved grant matching funds

The community of Calverstown has succeeded in raising the required matching funds to access the €22,000 grant they were allocated under the Rural Rejuvenation Scheme, writes Brian Byrne. The combined funding will go towards the eventual provision of a Community Space for the village.

According to the Calverstown Action Network, an iDonate fundraiser provided over €17,000 towards the money required before the deadline of 31 July. CAN's available funds for basic maintenance jobs around the village such as the grass cutting were used to provide the balance.

The network has thanked all who helped them meet the deadline, saying they were 'overwhelmed' with the response. Noting that they must continue to fundraise, both to replenish the maintenance accounts and for the cost of the next stage of the project, CAN called for continued generosity and support for the 'next push'.
