POWYS WAR MEMORIALS PROJECT - GRANTS AVAILABLE

Grants up to £5,000 available to repair or restore World War 1 memorials in Powys

The Powys War Memorials Project is a four year project, mainly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), to commemorate the centenary of World War 1.

The project can provide grants up to £5,000 for World War 1 memorials in Powys to be repaired, restored or maintained. The grants can cover up to 90% of the total cost of the work. The outstanding 10% needs to come from match funding, e.g. from a Town or Community Council.

Any type of World War 1 memorial in Powys is eligible, including stone obelisks or crosses, stained glass windows, wooden boards or plaques, statues or paper rolls of honour.

The application process is quick and easy.

The grants are being allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, it is advisable to apply sooner rather than later.

Please contact Nathan Davies, Powys War Memorials Project Officer, for more information: Warmemorials@powys.gov.uk / 07973 973 687. Alternatively, please visit the project website: www.powyswarmemorials.co.uk
