Community Foundation Wales has supported Welsh Procurement Alliance to award grants to its members to enable them to respond to the needs of those within the communities in which they work.

All projects have identified a way to build local community cohesion, reduce the isolation of those that are vulnerable and improve the health and well-being of families struggling with the effects of living on low incomes.

A continuation of the successful Pitch 4 Pounds initiative completed in the previous year. Due to the great success of our previous Pitch 4 pounds project and the benefit it had on the local groups and community we would like to run the project again targeting different groups within our community.

To provide an opportunity for local communities to apply for funding for local projects, planned and delivered by themselves for their communities.

We have started the process in running another "pitch 4 pounds" funding project. We have given a 4-week period for groups to express interest in applying for funding between £50 and £1000.

We have allocated the groups with Community development officers who will work with the groups to complete a short application form telling us about their projects and to ensure all projects hit the criteria. After this the successful groups will be able to pitch their project ideas to a panel.
