DCC grant aid under review

DERRY City Council is preparing a new community support plan and reviewing grant aid support in Londonderry’s community and voluntary sector.

The process will be overseen by Williamson Consulting and the company is now currently seeking a wide range of views from the sector and other key stakeholders.

Derry City Council’s Community Services Organiser, Gerry McColgan said that the review will provide Council with key information relating to some of the fundamental issues and areas of development affecting the community.
