Information The Community Services Programme is designed to address locally identified gaps in the provision of services to communities and to exploit the potential of community assets and resources already in place in support of the delivery of services to improve community well-being. The Programme can play an important role in addressing disadvantage and provides long term employment opportunities for certain groups of people who have been previously unemployed. The Programme focuses on communities where public and private sector services are lacking, either through geographical or social isolation or because demand levels are not sufficient. The Programme also enables the benefit of other public investment to be realised (as in the case of investment in community centres and resources). A core requirement of the Programme is that Groups generate non-public revenue from their operations by charging fees for services delivered or fundraising. Companies in contract with the Programme must be not for profit, social enterprise or community business in nature. The services provided are wide ranging and include facilities and activities for older people and those with disabilities, rural transport, community media, childcare, leisure facilities, home insulation and environmental projects. The Programme is managed for the Department of Social Protection by Pobal, a not-for-profit company that manages programmes on behalf of the Irish Government and the EU. The Community Services Programme evolved from the Social Economy Programme and at the end of August 2010 provided funding support for around 450 community companies and co-operatives. Rules Types of project Access to the Programme is managed by public calls for proposals made by the Department from time to time. Following assessment, contracts of up to three years duration are typically issued to successful community companies and co-operatives that meet the criteria for the Programme. In general, applicants must be not-for-profit companies, possess sufficient capacity to undertake service delivery and the management of staff, have sufficient financial resources and opportunity to generate revenue to maintain the service proposed, and where necessary, prepare a business plan acceptable to the Programme. Services generally fall within the following broad categories: - Community services for the elderly (excluding healthcare provision) - Community services which support or employ people with disabilities (excluding healthcare provision) - Projects, which support and employ stabilised and recovering drug misusers (excluding healthcare provision) - Community services or community enterprises for island communities - Community radio - Community enterprises which support and employ Travellers (excluding healthcare provision) - Supervising community halls and facilities with a priority focus on disadvantaged areas Qualifying organisations In order to qualify for funding under the Community Service Programme, organisations must operate on a not-for-profit basis. They must also recruit unemployed people to work in the projects. In general, 70% of employees in projects funded under the Programme must be from the following categories: - Unemployed people in receipt of Jobseeker�s Benefit, Jobseeker�s Allowance or One-Parent Family Payment - People in receipt of Disability Allowance, Invalidity Pension or Blind Person�s Pension or other disability payment - Travellers in receipt of Jobseeker�s Benefit, Jobseeker�s Allowance or One-Parent Family Payment - Ex-prisoners - Stabilised and recovering drug misusers Funding Organisations may receive funding on a multi-annual basis as a contribution to salaries for management and service delivery. In a small number of cases, funding may also be provided to support operational costs.

Eolas Tugann an Clár Seirbhísí Pobail tacú le gnólachtaí pobail chun seirbhísí áitiúla a sholáthar agus deiseanna fostaíochta do dhaoine faoi mhíbhuntáiste a chruthú. Cuireann sé maoiniú ar fáil do chomhlachtaí pobail agus do chomharchumainn. Díríonn an Clár ar phobail mar ar tearc seirbhísí na n-earnálacha poiblí agus príobháidí, cibé trí iargúltacht a suíomh nó toisc iad a bheith scoite amach ó phobail eile nó toisc nach leor na leibhéil éilimh. Tríd an gClár seo is féidir na buntáistí a ghabhann le hinfheistíocht phoiblí eile a fhíorú (infheistíocht in ionaid phobail agus in acmhainní, mar shampla). Tháinig an Clár Seirbhísí Pobail ón gClár Eacnamaíochta Sóisialta. Is é Pobal a riarann an Clár thar ceann na Roinne Coimirce Sóisialaí. Is comhlacht é Pobal a fheidhmíonn ar bhonn neamhbhrabúis agus a bhainistíonn cláir ar son Rialtais na hÉireann agus an AE. Rialacha Saghsanna tionscadail I gcoitinne, ní mór d’iarratasóirí a bheith ina gcuideachtaí sóisialta neamhbhrabúis nó gnólachtaí pobail, dóthain cumais a bheith acu chun tabhairt faoi sholáthar seirbhísí agus bainistiú foirne, dóthain acmhainní airgeadais agus deiseanna a bheith acu chun fáltais a ghiniúint chun an tseirbhís bheartaithe a choimeád ar siúl, agus plean gnó a réiteach a bheidh inghlactha don Chlár, má iarrtar é. Tá 3 príomhchineál tionscadail maoinithe ag an gClár: - Seirbhísí pobail do dhaoine faoi mhíbuntáiste, mar shampla, insliú tí; iompar míchumais; béilí ar rothaí agus gníomhaíochtaí sóisialaigh agus cúraim lae bunaithe san ionad; seirbhísí slándála pearsanta agus cuairte; raidió pobail agus foirmeacha eile meáin phobail - Fiontair phobail a fhostaíonn daoine faoi mhíchumas, an Lucht Siúil, andúiligh cobhsaithe agus/nó iarphríosúnaigh. Caithfidh an comhlacht nó comharchumann a fhostaíonn iad mar fhiontar sóisialta a oibriú agus saghas dul chun cinn le haghaidh na hoibrithe a thaispeáint. - Hallaí agus áiseanna pobail atá ar fáil d’úsáid pobail agus a chuireann ar chumas an ghnáthoibriú an bhonneagair pobail. Eagraíochtaí incháilithe Le cáiliú do mhaoiniú faoin gClár Seirbhíse Pobail, caithfidh eagraíochtaí a bheith ag feidhmiú ar bhonn neamhbhrabúis. Chomh maith leis sin, ní mór dóibh tosaíocht a thabhairt do dhaoine dífhostaithe sa phróiseas earcaíochta do na tionscadail. Go hiondúil caithfidh 70% de na fostaithe a n-earcaíonn an tionscadal iad teacht ó cheann de na grúpaí seo a leanas: - Daoine dífhostaithe a fhaigheann Sochar Cuardaitheora Poist, Liúntas Cuardaitheora Poist nó Íocaíocht Theaghlaigh Aontuismitheora - Daoine a fhaigheann Liúntas Míchumais, Pinsean Easláinte nó Pinsean na nDall nó íocaíocht míchumas eile - Lucht Siúil a fhaigheann Sochar Cuardaitheora Poist, Liúntas Cuardaitheora Poist nó Íocaíocht Theaghlaigh Aontuismitheora - Iarphríosúnaigh - Mí-úsáideora drugaí cobhsaithe agus athshlánaithe - Daoine a raibh fostaithe ag na scéimeanna Tús, Fostaíocht Pobail (FP), Tionscnamh Poist chomh maith le hoibrithe Scéime Sóisialta Tuaithe, ba rannpháirtithe FP iad roimhe seo Tá faisnéis mionshonraithe maidir le rialacha agus coinníollacha an Chláir Seirbhísí Pobail (pdf) ar fáil ar an láithreán gréasáin Pobal Conas iarratas a dhéanamh Eisíonn an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí gairm tograí go poiblí ó am go ham, agus is mar seo a bhainistítear rochtain ar an gClár.
