OUR BRIAN MULLAN COMMUNITY FUND AWARDS 2021 – NOW CLOSED

In October 2021, the Association was delighted to again open applications from community or voluntary sector organisations’ seeking to avail of essential funding to deliver projects and services within North Belfast.

Over the past few years, via this Fund, the Association has distributed in excess of £30,000 to 37 local organisations throughout North Belfast.

Our Brian Mullan Community Fund initiative has been designed to support organisations and projects that promote inclusion, strengthen communities and improve individual’s lives.

A funding pot of £10,000 was again set aside this year by the Association’s Board of Management to ensure the successful delivery of the scheme. The scheme closed on Friday, 5th November and a total of 17 applications were received from various organisations throughout North Belfast.

All qualifying applications are currently being assessed and scored by our ‘Assessment Panel’, made up of Newington Tenants, Employees and Board members, who will distribute funding of up to £1,000 per project, to the successful applicants.

The Association wishes to express our appreciation to all those organisations who took the time to apply to the scheme and extend our gratitude to those on the ‘Assessment Panel’, who have given up their time, on a voluntary basis, to help deliver this initiative.

All applicants will be notified whether they have or have not been successful, over the coming weeks.
