🌟 A busy week of events, opportunities, and ways to get involved!
This week’s E-Bulletin invites members to our upcoming PPN Plenary in April, a key opportunity to hear updates, connect with stakeholders, and have your say on PPN activities and priorities.

We’re also highlighting a mix of community initiatives and events — from the Community Paint Grant Scheme supporting local projects, to creative opportunities like the East Cork Songwriting Festival, alongside ongoing Dementia Awareness Workshops and pop-up volunteer supports.
As always, there are plenty of ways to get involved — including Linkage Groups, voluntary vacancies, and opportunities to engage in local decision-making and policy development.
On the funding side, this week features the launch of the CLÁR 2026 programme, supporting community facilities and rural development projects, along with other ongoing supports for community groups.
Finally, we’re sharing several important consultations and surveys, including a new initiative exploring how the community sector can engage with AI, as well as opportunities to contribute to national health and volunteering policy.
Another full and engaging edition — with lots of ways to connect, contribute, and support communities across Cork County.
