EBS Building Society celebrates the latest round of funding through its Community Fund. Some €3,750 was shared among ten different community groups in Mayo. The ten Mayo groups were part of 128 local initiatives across the country who received funding bringing the total number of causes to receive support this year to 282. To date €145,000 has been spread among communities around Ireland.  

EBS Community Fund has assisted charities and community groups throughout the country to continue their vital work. Barney Kiernan, Manager, EBS Linenhall Castlebar said: "EBS Linenhall Castlebar would like to thank all of the people in Mayo and around Ireland who took the time to nominate their local causes for this year’s EBS Community Fund. All over the country, people are working in societies, committees, organisations, clubs, or centres, to improve their local communities, their commitment is commendable. I’d like to also congratulate the Three Castlebar organisations who have received funding from EBS Community Fund this year. I hope the funding helps in some way for you to continue the services you are providing and I look forward to hearing the stories of how the money was used."   

The EBS Community Fund was set up in 2008 and was rolled out by the building society’s offices nationwide. The fund calls on communities around the country to make a difference and nominate causes they deem worthy of funding. There was no limit as to who could be nominated and entries flooded in for support for summer camps, sports clubs, community centres and care services for the elderly. Nominations were submitted into the local EBS branch and a group of representative members and staff awarded the funding.
