Regional Infrastructure Support Programme (RISP)
This programme has five strands and supports core costs of regional infrastructure organisations involved in playing a supporting, co-ordinating or development role in relation to voluntary and community sector organisations, particularly in those policy areas which are the responsibility of the Department. Community infrastructure allows new work and new organisations to develop, supports already there, and facilitates networking.

Energy payment for grassroots organisations impacted by soaring costs
The rising costs of gas, oil and electricity have been highlighted by many Voluntary and Community organisations as a major issue which may negatively impact on the vital services which they deliver on behalf of the Department to those most in need within our communities.
To help with these costs, a £1,500 energy payment has been made to 170 Voluntary and Community funded organisations which deliver key services to communities across Northern Ireland.
Cost of living support for voluntary and community organisations
Minister Gordon Lyons has announced support for 287 Voluntary and Community organisations, funded through the Department’s Voluntary Community Division and Community Empowerment Division.
A list of the organisations who will avail of this funding is available.
