Successful Projects Announced Under LEAF 2026

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is delighted to announce the successful projects awarded funding under the Local Environmental Action Fund (LEAF) 2026.

A total of 26 projects have been approved for funding, representing a diverse range of community-led environmental initiatives across the county. These projects demonstrate the strong commitment of local communities to enhancing the environment, protecting biodiversity, and supporting climate action throughout Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.

LEAF is a partnership between IPB Insurance and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, supporting the delivery of local projects that contribute to environmental improvement, biodiversity enhancement, and climate action. The fund provides valuable support to community groups in developing and delivering initiatives that create positive environmental impacts in their local areas.

The 2026 funding programme was open to Tidy Towns groups, residents' associations, and other voluntary community organisations operating within the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council administrative area. To be eligible, applicants were required to be registered with the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Public Participation Network (dlrPPN).

Applicants were also encouraged to develop projects in partnership with other community groups, including local schools, youth clubs, gardening groups, sports clubs, and men's and women's sheds, promoting collaboration and community engagement across the county.

The Council congratulates all successful applicants and looks forward to seeing these projects delivered over the coming year.
