Co-op Foundation invites funding applications from Welsh community groups

Community groups in Wales have two more weeks to apply for funding from the new £1million Co-Op Foundation fund.

The fund was launched in May to help Welsh groups with a community and environmental focus to safeguard spaces and become more sustainable. Groups can apply for grants of up to £10,000 to explore ideas that could contribute to a more sustainable future for their community space.

Interest-free loans of up to £50,000 are also available to help organisations develop more established business ideas. Loans are usually repaid within five years with no requirement to make repayments in the first year.

Applications close on Friday 21 June
