The dates we are targeting for the 2022 season are as follows (Major dates also included for reference):

The new Covid Recovery Programme for Ulster-Scots organisations (CRPO) is NOW OPEN for applications.
The funding programme is open to Ulster-Scots organisations across Northern Ireland.  It aims to reduce or remove operating deficits in eligible groups which have been caused by Covid. It is hoped this support may alleviate the significant financial pressures they face and help them to get back up and running again.

Applications and supporting documentation must be submitted via the Agency’s online funding portal, which can be accessed HERE.

The portal will automatically close at 5.00pm on Friday 28th January 2022 with decisions expected shortly afterwards.
