Local Assembly Member Paul Davies is encouraging community groups and organisations across Pembrokeshire to take advantage of the latest funding round raised by the People’s Postcode Lottery. Funding will be allocated through three Trusts, which support different categories of projects. People’s Postcode Trust seeks applications for projects that focus on the prevention of poverty, promotion of human rights, equal rights and conflict resolution for some of society’s most vulnerable groups. Postcode Local Trust supports wildlife, sustainability and volunteering initiatives. Postcode Community Trust focuses on grass-roots sports, arts, recreation and healthy living programmes.

Mr Davies said, "I'd like to encourage as many groups as possible from across Pembrokeshire to make an application for funding to any of the three Trusts. These grants can provide some much needed funding for equipment or building innovations. This is a real opportunity for local organisations to access this vital funding and make even more of a difference across Pembrokeshire.”

The application process is simple. The first round - which opens from 23 January until 10 February 2017 - starts with organisations being encouraged to submit an 'expression of interest' form. Charities will then be shortlisted to complete a full application for funding.
