Local & Community Development Programme (Formerly LDSIP and CDP)

The Local and Community Development Programme  (LCDP) provides funds for a large part of West Cork Development Partnerships’ social inclusion programming and supports. The funding is made available by the Department of Community, Rural & Gaeltacht Affairs, and is administered through Pobal. The core aim of the LCDP is “to provide funding to Area & Community Partnerships that adopt a partnership approach to tackling local issues o­n the basis of comprehensive, integrated local action plans designed to counter Social Exclusion”.

Services are targeted towards locally identified projects and individuals in our area. To find out more contact our office in Bantry at 027-52266 and talk to a relevant staff member as listed below. Click here for directions.
