People and Places

Area Covered: Wales

Funding Available: £5,000-£1,000,000

Overview: Funding is available for capital and revenue projects that encourage co-ordinated action by people who want to make their communities better places to live. The main aim is to bring people together to create real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need. Projects should be community led. Helping people to develop the skills and confidence to become more involved in their community is an integral aspect to this programme.

Requirements: Support is available for local and regional projects throughout Wales that focus on:

• revitalising communities
• improving community relationships, or
• enhancing local environments, community services and buildings

Organisations are also encouraged to work together, and applications are accepted from organisations based anywhere in the UK. However, projects must mainly benefit people in Wales. Organisations not currently working in Wales should be able to demonstrate that they are aware of social and policy issues that are relevant to the local area and the project. Under this programme, grants will only be made to voluntary, community or public sector organisations either working separately or together.
