Community

A community leader from Castletownbere and a group providing an inclusive environment for people of all abilities to participate in sports have received the top awards at the 12th Annual Mayor’s Community Awards in Cork County Hall.  

Cork County Council hosted a celebratory event for Tidy Towns groups across the county to recognise their remarkable dedication to enhancing the beauty, sustainability, and sense of community in Cork’s towns and villages. The event, held at County Hall, brought together representatives from Tidy Towns groups and expert speakers to share achievements, exchange ideas, and inspire future initiatives. 

Cork County Council is inviting applications from community and voluntary groups for funding under the new Local Enhancement Programme (LEP) Fund 2025. The scheme follows on from the very successful 2024 programme which supported over 160 groups in Cork County. 

Cork County Council is inviting community groups to apply for the latest round of funding under the Community Recognition Fund.
