The Fund will have grants of £2,000-£10,000 on offer, and will be looking to support projects with a link to improving community wellbeing through one or more of these three key themes:

• People: Projects that help people to lead a healthier life and gain new skills;
• Place: Ideas that help create better places to live in and use; and
• Environment: Schemes that will help look after the natural environment, give people greater access to that environment or help look after water.

We will be releasing £25,000 over two periods of the year, and the fund will open for applications in September 2021.

Please share this news with the community groups in your area to let them know about the support that will soon be available – they can find out more and also register their interest on our website, at hdcymru.co.uk/communityfund

We’d be happy to run a workshop for you and your groups to share more detail about the fund aims and eligibility – if you’d like to arrange this with us or find out more then please get in touch with us at communityfundhd(at)hdcymru.co.uk
