The Ulster Bank in Ireland has launched a new fund which will provide grants to help people learn new skills, find employment or start a business.
The £220,000 fund will be open to charities, social enterprises, community projects, state funded schools and colleges throughout Ireland.
The Ulster Bank has already given £500,000 to community projects in the last two years through its Community Impact Fund.

Ulster Bank says that making a difference locally is often best achieved at a local level through trusted not-for-profit organisations which carry out valuable work in the areas of education, employability and enterprise support. Through the provision of this fund, Ulster Bank says it is aiming to support and create better opportunities for people in local communities.
Applications to this latest fund will open on 11 May 2015, which is when the dedicated website is due to go live. The closing date is 22 May.
