The Department is undertaking a review of the Community Services Programme (CSP) in 2019. The review was considered opportune as the programme hadn't been formally reviewed since its launch in 2006, during which time the external environment had changed significantly. It will consider how the CSP fits with overall Government priorities as well as with my Department’s other community programmes and policy objectives.
It will inform decisions on the future shape and structure of the programme. To this end, it will examine, among other things, options for restructuring the scheme and expanding the range of eligible activities, as well as the types and levels of funding for supported organisations.
The review is being carried out by an independent review body, Indecon Consultants, who were appointed in March 2019. It will take six months and should be completed in early Autumn 2019. There will be consultation at all stages of the review with CSP supported organisations and other stakeholders.
