New £50,000 Community Fund launched

Community groups and local charities in the Welshpool area can apply for funding as part of a new community fund.

Water company Hafren Dyfrdwy has launched its brand new community fund, where it will give up to £50,000 to community groups, local charities and non-profit organisations across its region.

The company that supplies water across Powys has created the fund to specifically support new projects that aim to make a difference within its community.

The company will be releasing funding over two periods of the year, with groups able to apply for a grant of between £2,000 and £10,000. 

James Jesic, Hafren Dyfrdwy Managing Director said: “We know there are plenty of local groups out there that could benefit from a grant from our new fund and we’re incredibly keen to make a real difference to those communities.

“The Fund is there for everyone, and we want to be able to help and support community projects that are most important to our customers, so if you are involved with a community project that could benefit from the fund, please get in touch.”

The projects will be assessed by a panel made up of customers and Hafren Dyfrdwy employees, that will meet up to review the strongest applications and have the final decision on which projects are funded.

The Fund will be opening for applications from September 2021 and will be open for four weeks.

It will support projects that aim to improve community wellbeing across three core themes:

People: Projects that help people to lead a healthier life and gain new skills;

Place: Ideas that help create better places to live in and use; and

Environment: Schemes that will help look after the natural environment, and give people greater access to that environment or help look after water.
