Supporting the development and evolution of the community sector is a central element of SECAD Partnership’s work.

The sustainability, vibrancy and future of our rural areas is directly linked to the existence of a range of different indigenous businesses within rural communities.

Building on 25 years of experience in the administration of funding and working with communities to enable them to access investment funds, SECAD began administering Community Benefit Funds on behalf of semi state and corporate bodies in 2015, as a Grant Making Organisation (GMO). Some of these bodies include ESB, Coillte, NTR, Oriel, EirGrid and RWE. SECAD provides its GMO service for a growing number of Community Benefit Funds across Ireland.

Our employment service aims to guide you towards the right supports depending on your needs and circumstances, be it unemployed or perhaps in need of short term job specific training and help to apply for jobs.

SECAD Partnership works with unemployed people/job seekers to match them with suitable work placement opportunities in groups across communities.
