6. Christmas Crafts Grant For Youth Groups
Cavan Monaghan Local Creative Youth Partnership are delighted to launch our new Christmas Crafters Grant. This is a new community initiative aimed at youth groups engaging with young people aged 7 to 24 years and supports the design and creation of items to be sold at local Christmas markets.
Grant Details
Applications can be made to a maximum value of €500, for the provision of purchasing materials which aid in the creation of the item(s) that young people will be creating to sell at Christmas markets. The initiative is open to community, voluntary and not-for-profit services and organisations that support children and young people in Cavan & Monaghan. Any money generated must be reinvested within the club for the benefit of the young people involved in the project/club.
The maximum funding allocation per individual project will not exceed €500. However, grants awarded may be considerably less than that, depending on the number of valid applications funded.
Target Group
The target group for the Christmas Crafters Grant is children and young people in ‘out of school’ settings, with a particular focus on those who are seldom heard, marginalised or experience disadvantage. Young people must be consulted before submitting an application as the ideas for the items you design, craft, and sell at Christmas markets should originate from them.
Outcomes
The focus of this project is to enhance the creativity and entrepreneur skills of young people. Ultimately, we want young people to tap into their creativity and cultivate essential skills in business and entrepreneurship. It is hoped that the skills and the confidence gained might give young people the ability to start their own venture some day!
Supporting Workshop
An optional social entrepreneur workshop is available to successful groups to help them brainstorm craft ideas. This will be in collaboration with Future in Perspective through their IGNITE Project. Its aim is to help young people set up their own social enterprises through fun and interactive online simulation games, group activities, and practical templates. This workshop(s) should be booked through Future in Perspective, and their availability will be determined at their discretion.
Applications
Organisations and groups are invited to apply online for funding via https://cmetb.submit.com
Closing date for receipt of applications is Tuesday, 21st October 2025 at 4pm

17- Introducing The Public Consultation Institute
Public trust is an essential component of successful government, earned through genuine transparent and participatory policy-making rather than tokenistic initiatives. Such participatory policy-making demands a system of transparency that transforms traditional public sector administration. While past transparency wasn't necessarily by design, modern expectations demand better public consultation and citizen engagement. Transparency encourages engagement, and engagement strengthens democracy. Stronger democracy allows for more effective government by promoting accountability at every level. Digital tools enable open and transparent government, and Irish households are increasingly digitally connected. For genuine democratic engagement to advance, it is not enough for people to trust the government - the government must trust in its people.

20- Cavan Renewable Energy Survey
In line with our national obligations and commitments laid out in the Cavan County Development Plan 2022-2028 and the Cavan Local Climate Action Plan, Cavan County Council has procured consultants Arup to develop a County Renewable Energy Strategy.
The Cavan County Renewable Energy Strategy will be a key component of future governance decisions and policy development in County Cavan and will sit within a broader economic and community development plan. The Strategy aims to identify the potential of renewable energy sources and explore the opportunities and constraints of these sources across a range of socio-economic, environmental, and political considerations. The opportunities and constraints will be presented alongside a series of GIS maps and baseline graphs. The Strategy will also include renewable energy generation targets for County Cavan.
The project team would like to invite members of the public to complete a short survey to help inform the Renewable Energy Strategy for County Cavan: Link to Renewable Energy Strategy Survey
21- Power to Change Survey
As part of the Power to Change project led by Atlantic Technological University in partnership with the Sligo Public Participation Network, they are collecting input from community groups across Ireland.
Please take this 15 minute survey to help gather evidence of the constraints community groups face both in taking action for climate and in your general work.
Survey here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/NHFCGGT
Please also share with other groups you know. Ultimately the Power to Change project has been about actively supporting groups to undertake climate actions. However there are barriers to groups undertaking climate action, as well as challenges that community organisations face in general. In order to help groups overcome these challenges we need to gather evidence. This means hearing from you!
The data generated will be used as part of Power to Change to demonstrate to government evidence that they need to provide supports to this sector and that they need to listen to community organisations and respond to their needs in terms of the changes they make, if they want the sector to engage in climate action.

22- Consultation On Irelands Social Climate Plan

27- Birdwatch Branch Outing
Hi all,
Branch outing to Dundalk Bay this Sunday 19th of October.
Meet outside the Spirit Store, Dundalk Docks at 10.00am. (Eircode A91 NR79)
I appreciate that it’s a relatively early start for anyone wanting to travel, but the time is picked to coincide with the tide being out so we can see birds feeding on the mudflats. If anyone needs a lift from Cavan please get in touch and we will try to arrange.
The outing is suitable for beginners and anyone with an interest in bird photography. We will walk from the Dundalk Docks up to the bridge over the the Castletown River on the Newry road. There is an Applegreen filing station there which has toilet facilities. After this we will drive to Lurgangreen. There should be a good mix of waterbirds.
Kind regards,
Tom Broe
Secretary, Cavan Branch of BirdWatch Ireland
28- Border Region Mental Health Supports
Right Support Right Time is a new cross-border, European-funded mental health and wellbeing service designed to help people find the right support that works for them, at the right time, in the right way.
We know that life can be overwhelming at times. Things like money worries, housing problems, health issues, grief, loneliness, or family stress can all affect our wellbeing.
That’s where Right Support Right Time comes in.
We focus on the everyday issues that can lead to poor mental health and help people take positive steps forward. We know that everyone’s experience is different, and so is the type of support that works best. That’s why Right Support Right Time offers a range of support programmes, so you can find the approach that feels right for you.
Some people benefit most from a listening ear and some space to talk things through. Others may want help to take practical steps, learn new skills, or understand their rights. Whatever the need, we’ll work together to figure out what support will make the most difference.
We are offering FREE mental health & wellbeing group sessions
These 2 hour, in-person workshops aim to promote wellbeing, help build resilience and raise awareness of other support though the RSRT programme. Here are some options below:
· Mental Health Awareness
· Food & Mood
· The Importance of Sleep
· Alcohol and Other Drugs
· An Introduction to Self-Care
· Managing Stress & Anxiety
· Mental Health in Older Age
· Peer Support
· Mental Health & Menopause
Who is Right Support Right Time for?
The service is open to anyone aged 16 years and over, living in Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland, as well as families.
We’re especially focused on supporting people who are most likely to experience poor mental health and least likely to access support.
The website is www.inspirewellbeing.org/RSRT.
If you could ask the groups to respond to j.groves@inspirewellbeing.org if interested or want more information.
