A major €2.75m investment in rural renewal has been unveiled with the launch of the Maximising Community Space (MCS) Project, a transformative initiative designed to support community organisations and people that manage halls, facilities and community spaces that bring people together.
The project brings together a multi stakeholder partnership comprising of Rural Action who will lead the project along with partners, Irish Rural Link (IRL) and the Northern Ireland Rural Women’s Network (NIRWN).
Through networking, events and activities, MCS will encourage and facilitate collaboration between rural communities on a cross-border and cross-community basis. Participating groups and organisations will benefit from shared learning and tailored training designed to maximise income generation, strengthen long‑term sustainability, and widen access to essential community services.
