Louth Heritage Week funding for communities

The Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO) encourages community groups to apply under the ‘Water Heritage Day Grants Scheme 2024’ to celebrate Water Heritage Day on Sunday the 25th of August. LAWPRO is a national shared service working on behalf of the 31 local authorities in Ireland coordinating efforts to achieve good water quality across the country.
To make an application see: LAWPRO Small Grants and Events Scheme 2024 | Online Consultation Portal of the Waters and Communities Office.

Speaking about the €30,000 grants scheme Anthony Coleman, Director of Services at LAWPRO said: “We are delighted to once again invite community groups in Louth to organise a water related event for Heritage Week. The theme of Heritage Week 2024 is "Connections, Routes & Networks” and our rivers play a big part in the connectivity of our island. In historic times they were networks for movement, trading and exploration.

“Water Heritage Day gives communities a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our heritage through water whether it be hosting a river safari, a talk at the riverside or launching a booklet on a local waterway there are ample ways to get involved.”
LAWPRO works in partnership with the Heritage Council, and to run a Heritage Week event you are encouraged to register your event on their website :www.heritageweek.ie/get-involved/organise-an-event
