ChildVision were successful in a grant application to the Community Services Programme in December 2023. This is a much sought after fund, managed by Pobal and supported by the Department of Rural and Community Development. It will allow CanDo Enterprises to recruit a social enterprise manager and to create paid positions for people with vision impairment. These positions will be broken down into five or six part-time jobs so that we can support as many people as possible to enter the labour force.
There are specific milestones attached to the grant that include a undertaking a training needs analysis, providing accredited training as well as enterprise specific milestones, to increase our retailer network, install a refilling station and engage in business supports provided by Pobal.
