The Scheme allows local clubs and organisations an opportunity to bid for grants of up to £500 to support projects which enhance community life in and around the Brecon area. Projects can be directed at any age group or section of the community.
Club President, Neil Sandiford, said “the Community Chest Fund is open to not for profit organisations in the Brecon area, and applications which meet our criteria, as outlined in the guidance, will be considered. The main objective of the Fund is to make a difference to people's lives, and organisations who can demonstrate how a grant would make a difference will stand in good stead”.
