The Mick Bates Community Memorial Fund

The Mick Bates Community Memorial Fund is open to applications that benefit the people of Montgomeryshire.

The Mick Bates Community Memorial Fund is inviting community groups and charities that work to benefit the people of Montgomeryshire, but particularly Llanfair Caereinion and the Banwy Valley to apply for grant funding.

The Mick Bates Community Memorial Fund was set up by his family following his death of bone cancer on 29 August 2022. Over £10,000 has been distributed through grants since it was established.

Ruth Bates, Mick’s daughter said: “We are opening the Fund on 1 June 2025 for applications following a year of fundraising and we thank everyone who has donated through events and online.”
