The BRIDGE project seeks to promote the effective delivery of reception and integration supports to asylum seekers and third country nationals living in Galway City and County. It helps those in the asylum process, refugees and third country nationals to engage with mainstream organisations and communities through the provision of information resources, skills and confidence, and deliver a capacity building programme to improve referral systems, information provision and supports within/between mainstream organisations.

The Rural toolkit is the comprehensive guide to EU funding and support opportunities for rural areas in the European Union. It aims to help local authorities, institutions and stakeholders, businesses and individuals to identify and take advantage of existing EU funds, programmes and other funding and support initiatives, and to foster development in rural territories. It also presents a diverse range of practical examples, case studies and inspiring stories on how EU funds and support mechanisms have already been implemented successfully in rural areas across the European Union.
