A leading disability service provider in Donegal has been granted funding support from Bank of Ireland’s Begin Together programme.
The No Barriers Foundation received €20,000 from the fund to support their work providing specialist services for people with disabilities in a community gym environment.
The charity, based at Mountain Top in Letterkenny, offers physiotherapy, occupational therapy and psychotherapy services for people to continue to rehabilitate without feeling as though they are in a medical setting.
A total of €500,000 is being allocated to community groups across the island of Ireland, in the fifth year of the Begin Together fund, delivered in partnership with the Community Foundation Ireland.
Two charities, Depaul and the Irish Refugee Council, have been allocated €80,000 multi-year grants, to fund long terms projects.
The groups supported include those who are disproportionately impacted by some of the most critical issues in Ireland today, as identified by Community Foundation Ireland and through ESRI data.
The current round of grants will bring the total value of Begin Together grants issued through the Community Fund to €2.5 Million, supporting 286 community projects across the island of Ireland since 2020.
