The LifeSaver Project has been hailed a major success following a two-day event held at Galway Racecourse on 15 and 16 October, where almost 900 Transition Year students from schools across Galway City and County took part in a comprehensive road safety learning experience aimed at encouraging safer behaviour and decision-making on the roads.

More than 100 mayors, deputy mayors and elected representatives from 60 cities in 22 European countries have signed the Cork Call to Action on Climate and Health. They pledged to take local action on nature, food, active travel, housing and preparedness for extreme weather.

This grant offers financial support for community, voluntary, sporting, social enterprise and business association groups to deliver projects that enhance local communities and improve quality of life.
