Newsletter 30/01/2026

🌟 Another packed week of updates and opportunities from Cork County PPN!


This week’s E-Bulletin places a strong focus on getting involved, with several voluntary roles and vacancies now open across the PPN. We’re encouraging members to consider joining our Linkage Groups, exploring PPN Secretariat vacancies, and putting themselves forward to help shape policy and decision-making at county level. This is your chnace to truly be the Voice of the Community!

Alongside this, we’re inviting groups to have their say through our Training Needs Analysis, sharing useful resources to support planning and grant applications, and highlighting ongoing environmental, road safety, and water safety initiatives.

You’ll also find a wide range of funding opportunities â€” from local festivals and community projects to health, youth, and European programmes — as well as an important public consultation that will influence Cork’s long-term infrastructure planning.

A packed end-of-month edition — with plenty of ways to volunteer, participate, and make a meaningful contribution to communities across Cork County.

Happy Long Weekend everyone!!
