There are actually a wide range of grants and funding opportunities available across Wales — many of which often go unnoticed simply because people don’t know where to look.
Useful funding search tools and organisations can help identify support for various groups.
See links below:

Community Foundation https://communityfoundationwales.org.uk/
Community groups Sports clubs Environmental projects Youth activities Heritage initiatives Volunteer organisations Community events Local improvements and regeneration projects. Many areas also benefit from Community Benefit Funds — financial contributions linked to developments such as wind farms and renewable energy projects — specifically designed to support local communities and grassroots initiatives. Even smaller groups with simple ideas may be eligible for support.
Sometimes a relatively modest grant can make a huge difference to: equipment facilities community spaces wellbeing projects local activities training and development If you’re involved in a community organisation, volunteer group, or local initiative, it may well be worth exploring what funding could be available.
You might be surprised at what support is out there Stay connected — all my links, updates, and community projects are available through my digital councillor hub: www.michaelthomas.wales
