Breaking Ground: Belturbet Community Allotments Grow Accessibility, Opportunity and Community Spirit

SICAP has been working alongside volunteers at the Belturbet Community Allotments for several years, developing the site each year.

Recently, with two small grants from SICAP, the Group has been able to improve existing fencing and install new fencing; improve their composting area and put in new paths to improve access for people with limited mobility. This has been especially evident for a group from St Bricin's College, whose students with Special Needs have an allotment. The new paths have made a real difference in accessing and working on their allotment.

The Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP) is co-funded by the Irish Government, through the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, and the European Social Fund Plus under the Employment, Inclusion, Skills and Training (EIST) Programme 2021 -2027.

Tá an Clár um Chuimsiú Sóisialta agus Gníomhachtú Pobail (SICAP) cómhaoinithe ag Rialtas na hÉireann, tríd an Roinn Forbartha Tuaithe agus Pobail agus Gaeltachta, agus Ciste Sóisialta na hEorpa Plus faoin gClár Fostaíochta, Cuimsiú, Scileanna agus Oiliúna (EIST) 2021 -2027
