Culture Secretary, Jane Hutt, said: "The Community Facilities Programme is important in helping organisations improve facilities so local people can benefit from them in their day to day lives."

“Each recipient of support from the programme provides a crucial service to the people they serve and it is great the Welsh Government is able to help them do even more.”

The Community Facilities Programme, a capital grant scheme, is designed to help groups in the voluntary sector make improvements to facilities such as sports clubs and community halls.
