Funding Awarded to Strengthen Community Organisations in North Wales
The Conwy Valley and North Wales Coast Community Rail Partnership has awarded £20,000 to community groups across North Wales.
The funding will support projects that improve wellbeing, reduce isolation and encourage the use of sustainable travel.
Launched earlier this year, the Community Resilience Grant was made possible thanks to funding from Avanti West Coast match-funded by the Conwy Valley and North Wales Coast Community Rail Partnership, who receive their core funding from Transport for Wales, and administered by Community and Voluntary Support Conwy (CVSC).
Open to community organisations, charities, and CICs within five miles of a station along the railway lines from Llandudno to Blaenau Ffestiniog and Holyhead to Shotton, the grant offered up to £1,000 per organisation to build resilience and sustainability.
