QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

Are there grants for autism friendly play features in Community Centres, Community Spaces, or other Community facilities?

REPLY:

The community grants scheme does not provide specific grants for provision of autism friendly equipment however, community centre boards of management  can apply to use the funds we provide to deliver and purchase equipment for autism friendly play features. Our libraries currently provide a range of neurodivergent services and equipment for use by members of the public and the community development team are also piloting the provision of sensory play boxes for use in community centres.
