The deadline for the next round of Community Chest funding is fast approaching -  Thursday Sept 3rd - so please hurry and submit the attached application form ASAP if your club wishes to apply for up to £1500 to deliver a scheme that will either increase participation or improve standards in your sport.   

So far this year, we have received fewer applications than in previous years, which means there are plenty of funds left in the kitty and solid applications are highly likely to gain support.  For further information please visit the Sport Wales website:  http://sport.wales/funding--support/our-grants/community-chest.aspx
