Tipperary businesses invited to apply for Christmas Retail Support grants

Tipperary County Council is inviting retail businesses to apply for a grant to assist them with promoting their businesses, town and village as a place to do Christmas shopping. 

The Council in conjunction with Tipperary Local Enterprise Office is inviting grant applications from town centre teams, trader associations, chambers of commerce, community groups, farmers markets, craft markets or those involved in the craft sector under the Christmas Retail Support Programme. 

The grant scheme will provide support for towns and villages that have a retail/business presence to implement activities designed to enable increased spending or retain spending in Tipperary towns and villages over the Christmas period.

Grantees will be awarded a cash grant of between €300 and €3,000 to be spent on activities including advertising, promotions, street entertainment or other expenses for their Christmas events.

Emphasis is to be placed on projects and events that are versatile and innovative.

The application form can be found on Tipperary County Council's website.
