Penarth community groups are invited to apply for grants from the Vale council to help with projects that benefit the local area. 

The Strong Communities Grant Fund offers funding towards the cost of initiatives within the Vale that help support the council's vision of "strong communities with a bright future."   

The fund also aims to improve the resilience of organisations and groups or their activities by funding projects that add value to their current work, can demonstrate longer-term sustainability, and reduce reliance on grant funding in the future. 

The maximum grant amount is £25,000 per application. 

If you would like to put forward a project, send an email to [email protected]. 

Applicants should include a short paragraph outlining the idea. The council will respond with advice on eligibility and how to make an application.
