County Wicklow Partnership has been invited by the Department of Social Protection / Pobal to submit an Expression of Interest from a selected social enterprise company from the rural area in Co. Wicklow (all of the county outside of Bray and Greystones) to be considered for financial support under the Community Services Programme.

The aim of the Community Services Programme is to support legally incorporated community organisations (companies limited by guarantee) and industrial and provident societies (co-operatives) to provide local social, economic and environmental services through the application of a social enterprise model of delivery.
The Department of Social Protection has committed €1 million nationally to facilitate more social enterprises to join the Community Services Programme.
