View answerI understand that Ramsgate Men’s Shed has applied to Waterford and Wexford Educational and Training Board (WWETB) for funding under the 2023 REACH Fund which places a strong focus on community education as a mechanism to continue to support and engage with disadvantaged learners. In addition, there is a focus on enabling the investment in building the digital infrastructure of providers and their capability to ensure that online learning/blended learning can be delivered in a way that meets the complex needs of learners.
I understand that WWETB is reviewing the applications received under its Call for Proposals under the 2023 REACH Fund. Applicants will be advised on the outcome of their applications on completion of this review.
