These included the Bedford Row Family Project based in the city centre, Limerick Youth Service and Limerick Island Community Partners serving the King's Island area of the city.
Elsewhere, Our Lady of Lourdes Community Services Group, based in Childers Road, and Moyross groups Extern Ireland, the area's community enterprise centre, and Moyross Development also benefit, alongside St Munchin's Community Enterprise Centre in Kileely on the city's northside.
The overarching aim of the fund is to to improve access to opportunities for residents of the Regeneration areas and the surrounding communities, as well as enhancing service provision across the statutory and community sector.
