Genio Trust Update Genio was delighted to receive confirmation from Minister John Moloney T.D., Minister of State with responsibility for Equality, Disability and Mental Health, that a commitment of €2m innovation funding is being made in 2011 to the Genio Trust. This funding will be used to help accelerate the availability of personalised supports, enabling people with disabilities and mental health difficulties to live full lives in their communities. Due to the recent date of the announcement, (24th January 2011) the final details of how this funding will be distributed from the Genio Trust have yet to be confirmed. Genio is working closely with the Office for Disability and Mental Health, Department of Health and Children and the HSE and we are aiming to have detailed information available by mid-February 2011. Please
note:
the criteria for applications to the Genio Trust for the 2011 may differ from
2010. We are not in a position to accept any applications for funding until
official information and guidelines are issued on www.genio.ie. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Minister John Moloney for his continued vision and commitment to supporting people with disabilities and mental health difficulties to live as included and valued members of society. Individuals with disabilities and mental health difficulties are the most important people in achieving the life that’s right for them, supported by their families, friends and communities. We look forward to the opportunity in 2011 to put more people in the ‘driving seat’ of their own lives. For enquiries please contact us by email at info@genio.ie.
