The Emigrant Support Programme opened for applications on the 21 January 2015 and will close at 5:30pm 25 February 2015.
The Irish Government Emigrant Support Programme is focused on supporting cultural, community and heritage projects that foster a vibrant sense of Irish community and identity.
In particular the programme supports organisations that deliver frontline advisory services and community care to Irish emigrants, particularly to the more vulnerable and marginalised members of our community abroad.
In recent years the programme has also funded capital projects that ensure the long–term future of Irish communities.
Irish in Britain are hosting two workshops in conjunction with the ESP on the 28th of January in London and the 30th of January in Manchester. We encourage all of our members to attend one of these free workshops in advance of making an application.
