🌟 Happy New Year everyone and welcome to the first PPN E-Bulletin of 2026!
We’re kicking off the new year with a practical and opportunity-filled edition to help our amazing groups get started strong. This week’s newsletter highlights upcoming grant roadshows across Cork, along with new ways to get involved in community safety initiatives, Linkage Groups, and the PPN Secretariat.

You’ll find details on early funding opportunities for 2026, and a couple of national consultations where community voices are needed.

A great start to the year — full of ways to shape what’s happening in communities across Cork County.
