Waterford LEADER Partnership (WLP) CLG supports communities, individuals, and businesses by enabling them to design and implement services and facilities that improve the social, economic, and environmental fabric of their local areas.
We achieve this by delivering programmes, projects, and initiatives in partnership with local communities and statutory agencies. Our supports include:
- Training and mentoring
- Technical assistance
- Funding opportunities
- Development supports
All aimed at helping communities develop and deliver services and facilities that meet local needs.
