The National Lottery has announced funding for seven Montgomeryshire based projects.
From the 29th of July to the 26th of October 2024, they have awarded £444,984 to community projects in Montgomeryshire.
There are 12 distributors of money raised by the players of The National Lottery, which fund projects and activities that transform communities, protect heritage, and enrich lives through arts, sports, and culture.
Their work is divided into five portfolios, covering funding across England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland, and the UK as a whole. In 2023/2024 the organisation funded a community project every 8 minutes.
Funding is made possible due to National Lottery players. The National Lottery Community fund award grants to grassroots projects, as well as making larger awards to tackle big social issues such as improving mental health, rural poverty and tackling homelessness.
Following news that The National Lottery Community Fund has awarded £444,984 to community groups in Montgomeryshire, Russell George MS said:
‘’Delighted to see that groups in Montgomeryshire have been awarded a very substantial amount of funding by the National Lottery Community Fund. This funding will provide a huge boost to some of the brilliant grassroots projects in our community.
‘’I look forward to seeing the huge benefits that this funding will bring not just to the groups receiving the funding, but the wider community they serve.’’
‘’I congratulate the dedicated local people who have applied and were successful in securing this investment for their projects.’’
