Circular.ie, Ireland’s national platform for circular economy communications, has announced all the community groups and organisations which will receive the grants with a total value of €100,000.
The scheme, funded by the Government of Ireland under the Circular Economy Fund, supports projects that are advancing circular living, strengthening community engagement and helping to build a more sustainable future across the country.

Congratulating the winners, Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment with special responsibility for the Circular Economy, Alan Dillon TD said: “This grant programme will help raise awareness of the innovative initiatives happening across Ireland and of those working to build a more sustainable future”.
“We are proud to recognise their work and help them to increase the visibility of their activities and the significant role they play in building circular communities”, he added.
Circular.ie has confirmed that the grants scheme will operate annually, with applications reopening in August next year.
To support the continued development of circular communication skills nationwide, Circular.ie will launch a series of 12 monthly online communications webinars starting in January and these sessions open to all community initiatives to focus on practical ways to engage with their audiences.
