Clwyd West AM Darren Millar has praised the Big Lottery Fund’s work in Wales which has included providing funding for a number of Conwy and Denbighshire projects to help them bring real improvements to communities and people most in need.
The Big Lottery Fund delivers funds raised for good causes by The National Lottery and has distributed over £600 million across Wales to projects covering health, education, the environment and charitable purposes.
So far this year they have provided funding to a number of local projects, including NEWVOL, Ruthin Community Group, Borthyn V.C. Primary School, Denbighshire Farm Women's Club Gellifor C.P. School, Ysgol Llanddulas, North Wales Fife Fancy Canary Club, The Jazz Warriors Limited, Ricochet Enterprises Ltd and Peulwys Go Green Association.
Darren said:
“The Big Lottery Fund supports the aspirations of people who want to make life better for their communities and it is responsible for giving out 40% of the money raised by the National Lottery. It has already had a significant impact on communities across Clwyd West and I am keen to see more groups from this area benefit in the future.
“I encourage groups in Denbighshire and Conwy with fantastic ideas about how to improve the lives of people in their communities to put forward their proposals.
“Grants of up to £5,000 will continue to be available in Wales through the Big Lottery Fund’s Awards for All programme as well as larger amounts of up to £1 million through People and Places.”
Big Lottery Fund Wales director John Rose said: “This year we will reach out to even more people with the £30 million we have available to support groups in Wales who want to make lives better for their communities. Remember we really want to hear from you too so please get in touch if you have an idea that will help make a positive difference in your area.”
