Roscommon Communities Benefit from Over €150,000 Funding Under LEP 2025

Roscommon Communities to Benefit from Over €150,000 in Funding Under Local Enhancement Programme 2025

Monday, 16th June 2025

Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary TD, and Minister of State with responsibility for Community Development and Charities, Jerry Buttimer TD, have announced funding allocations under the Local Enhancement Programme (LEP) 2025, with County Roscommon set to receive a total of €151,686 to support 104 local community groups across the county on Friday 13th June.

The allocation comprises €129,710 in capital funding and €21,976 in operational cost support, aimed at enhancing local facilities, services, and supports provided by voluntary and community organisations.

Launched in November 2024 with a national budget of €7 million, the LEP 2025 is designed to provide small-scale capital and current funding to thousands of local groups nationwide, particularly those serving disadvantaged or rural areas. Nearly 4,500 community organisations across Ireland will benefit from this initiative, supporting over 5,400 individual projects.

In announcing the funding, Minister Jerry Buttimer TD said:

“The Local Enhancement Programme is about giving a helping hand to our local groups and clubs, who are the building blocks of Irish community life.”

 In Roscommon, the 104 community groups receiving support will be supported to continue their vital work.

Minister Dara Calleary TD added:

“The Local Enhancement Programme 2025 continues to build on the vital supports provided to community groups through previous iterations of the fund helping them improve their facilities. It provides small-scale funding for projects which range from purchasing IT equipment to minor renovations to buildings and this year also provided an opportunity to groups to apply for help with their operational costs.”

The impact of this funding will be felt in towns, villages and parishes across Roscommon.

The Local Enhancement Programme 2025 is administered locally by Roscommon Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) with support from Roscommon County Council.

This investment reaffirms the Government’s commitment to empowering grassroots organisations and ensuring that community development remains a cornerstone of local and national policy.  A list of the community groups to receive funding are listed below.
