The Community
Facilities Programme is a new £10 million capital fund to support community
projects that contribute to the Welsh Government’s ambition to reduce poverty
across Wales.
The Minister for Communities and Tackling Poverty and the Deputy
Minister for Tackling Poverty launched the Community Facilities Programme on 9
January 2014.
The new Community Facilities Programme aims to offer £10 million between now and the end of 2015. Community and voluntary groups, as well as social enterprises will be able to bid for capital grants of up to £500,000 to improve community facilities which provide services for people most in need in their local areas. Those applying for a grant will have to prove that their project will prevent and help to alleviate the effects of poverty.
Schemes that will reintroduce or prevent the loss of community services will also be eligible to apply.
The scheme will open for business on Monday 3 February 2014. Further details are available from here.
