initiatives to individuals, enterprises and communities throughout
Carlow Town and County.
This tender is funded under the Social Inclusion and Community

targeted supports and inter-agency collaboration, underpinned by the
values of equality, inclusion and social justice.
A key strand of the SICAP programme in Carlow is to support
communities classified as disadvantaged/very disadvantaged/extremely
disadvantaged under the Pobal HP Deprivation Index (**Apply on the
