Share Your Views! Kildare Meath Community Benefit Fund Survey
As part of the EirGrid Kildare Meath Grid Upgrade, a Community Benefit Fund of €4,610,000 has been established to support local community groups, not-for-profit organisations, and social enterprises operating within 2km of the new electricity infrastructure. The aim is to deliver projects that create positive social and environmental impacts across the region.
M-CO, who are administering the Fund, are inviting local community and voluntary groups, individuals, and stakeholders to take part in a consultation process to explore the needs and priorities of the area — helping ensure the Fund is designed for the local community, by the local community.
We would greatly appreciate your help in encouraging participation in a community consultation survey, particularly with any groups operating within the area of benefit. This can be done by sharing the attached flyer via local social media channels, by emailing the details to your Residents Association or school Parent’s Council, or by sharing them with members of your club.
