Commenting on the fund, Interim Director of Customer Experience and Products at Ulster Bank, Joe Heneghan said, "We are extremely happy that the Fund has had such a positive impact in the three years since its launch, helping over 2,000 people, supporting the creation of over 300 jobs and 300 business start ups. These are important local initiatives that directly benefit people and wider communities and we’re really looking forward to seeing what this year will bring."
