The Ireland Funds has awarded €10,000 to the Co Longford Traveller Health Care Project through its Heart of the Community Fund.
The organisation, which is a global philanthropic network, provides critical funding each year to a wide range of community organisations and charities on the island of Ireland.
The Ireland Fund recognises the challenges organisations face in securing funds to build tier capacity or meet their core costs.

The Co Longford Traveller Health Care project aims to build trust and relationships between Longford's traveller population and healthcare services.
Many health agencies report that their services and programmes have difficulty reaching the Traveller community.
