Established in 2020, this fund supports local projects that promote inclusion, wellbeing and resilience.

To date, the initiative has funded projects that create safe community spaces, encourage creativity and support children, families and older residents. Rooted in Tuath Housing’s Tenant Engagement Strategy, the fund empowers residents and local groups to take an active role in shaping their communities, fostering inclusion, well-being, and resilience. By investing in social, educational, recreational, and environmental projects, the fund not only improves quality of life but also strengthens community ties, creating spaces where residents feel valued, heard, and supported. 

The Community Fund has enabled diverse initiatives that enhance well-being, strengthen communities, and provide essential support to those in need.   

The funded projects focus on:   

• Community: Investing in community-building activities and projects that foster a sense of belonging, cooperation, and mutual support among residents. 

• Social inclusion and diversity: Promoting inclusivity and diversity by supporting programs that address social exclusion, alleviate poverty, and celebrate the unique contributions of all community members. 

• Creating safe and welcoming spaces: Transforming shared spaces into inviting, community-friendly areas that foster a sense of belonging.  

• Encouraging creativity and expression: Funding arts and craft supplies for groups that use creative expression to promote mental well-being.  

• Supporting children and families: Providing resources for children with additional needs, play therapy for at-risk youth, and family events that bring communities together.  

• Promoting inclusivity and accessibility: Supporting initiatives like Age-Friendly Walkability Assessments to improve mobility and independence for older residents. 

The Digital Support Fund is a new initiative that provides funding to help residents access digital tools, training and essential online services, enhancing access to digital resources and technology and bridging the digital divide to ensure residents have the tools and skills needed to thrive in a digital world.

The fund will also collaborate closely with participants of the Tuath Education Bursary, providing them with laptops and hardware to support their educational pursuits and help them achieve their qualifications.

Additionally, the fund will work with residents in age-friendly schemes and connect with external supports such as the ETB, Vodafone, and other providers of digital inclusion services. This comprehensive approach aims to bridge the digital divide and ensure all residents have the tools and resources they need to thrive in a digital world.

Recognising Ireland’s diverse communities, this new fund will support cultural events, training, and programmes that promote integration, understanding, and inclusivity among residents.

By embracing social inclusion and diversity, Tuath Housing strives to create welcoming, inclusive, and thriving communities for all residents. Additionally, Tuath will support events and activities that promote integration, enhance understanding of different cultures, and celebrate diversity within our communities. 

Tuath’s Foundation is committed to environmental sustainability and climate action.

We will establish a Climate Action Fund that will support initiatives that promote environmental improvements and resilience within our communities. Focused on sustainability, this fund will support environmental projects that enhance green spaces, promote sustainable practices, and help communities adapt to climate change. 

This fund will focus on: 

• Enhancing Green Spaces: Creating and maintaining green areas, gardens and communal spaces to improve air quality and provide recreational spaces. 

• Promoting Sustainable Practices: Encouraging residents to adopt eco-friendly habits and practices through educational programs and resources. 
• Supporting Climate Resilience: Developing initiatives to help communities adapt to climate change and mitigate its impacts. 

By integrating these environmental initiatives, Tuath’s Foundation will not only enhance the well-being of our residents but also contribute to a healthier and more sustainable future for all.
