The Dormant Accounts Fund has announced another round of funding which will provide
up to €1 million for suicide prevention initiatives. The support for Suicide Prevention
Initiatives is a specific measure under the Social & Economic Disadvantage Category
of the 2008 round of Dormant Accounts funding.

Pobal, which administers the Dormant Accounts Fund, is inviting applications from
locally based community and voluntary groups who have experience of working in the
area of suicide prevention or in a related area.

Funding applications submitted under this Measure should be directly relevant to
the Reach Out – National Strategy for Action on Suicide Prevention 2005 – 2014.’

Applications will be strengthened by providing Pobal with a completed consultation
form confirming a group’s experience in this field from one of the eight regional
Resource Officers for Suicide Prevention employed by the HSE. Where there is no 
Resource Officer allocated to your area, applications should be submitted as normal
and Pobal will consult with the National Office for Suicide Prevention regarding
your application.

Application forms and guidelines can be obtained from the Pobal website. Completed
applications should be sent to:

Dormant Accounts Fund

Pobal

Holbrook House,

Holles Street,

Dublin 2

The closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 26th September 2008.

Information briefings are being held in 5 locations around the country and details
of these can be found on the site.
