The second phase of the 2018 – 19 Grant scheme, which runs from November 18 until March 19 has a number of extra priority areas:
The Welsh Government has identified five priority areas, which have the potential to make the greatest contribution to long-term prosperity and well-being. These are early years, better mental health, housing, skills and employability, and social care. They are areas where it has been shown that earlier intervention and more seamless services can make a real difference to people’s lives. The Welsh Government wants to ensure that support and investment in volunteering is making a positive contribution to action in these priority areas.
- Early Years (0-7 year olds) – activity which supports children to lead healthy, prosperous and fulfilling lives.
- Housing – activity which improves living conditions and tackles homelessness
- Social Care – activity which helps build strong communities and for people to live independent lives for longer.
- Mental Health – activity, which improves awareness of mental health, conditions or improves the help that people with mental health conditions get.
- Skills and Employability – activity which improves skills and readiness for education or employment.
The priorities have been identified from the Welsh Government’s National Strategy, Prosperity for All
The Closing date for applications is Tuesday 1st January 2019.
