THE National Lottery Community Fund has released details of the latest projects to receive funds in Llanelli.
The grants include cash for the Parc Howard Association in Llanelli.
These projects are among 85 projects across Wales awarded funds totalling £1.1 million of funding raised by National Lottery players.
John Rose, Wales director at The National Lottery Community Fund, said: “Increases in the cost of living and the impact of the pandemic are still felt by many, that’s why projects like these are a vital part of communities. The Fund is dedicated to supporting projects that bring people together to support their communities, create stronger social connections and help develop new skills. National Lottery players raise over £30 million each week for good causes like these throughout the UK.”
The projects include -
■ Parc Howard Association, Carmarthenshire
Parc Howard Association in Llanelli will use £8,660 to organise four events in 2022 to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Year. Each of the events will be free for the entire community. These musical, funpacked, attraction-filled and entertaining events will all take place in the historical and much-loved Parc Howard, a magnificent Edwardian Grade II listed parkland.
■ The Alternative Learning Company Ltd, Carmarthenshire
The Alternative Learning Company Ltd in Llanelli will use their Queen’s Platinum Jubilee grant of £47,500 to bring together young and older people in Carmarthenshire to cook and enjoy healthy meals on a budget, minimise food waste and share their skills. This will culminate in them creating a ‘Jubilee Cookbook’ featuring recipes across generations, and instructional cookery videos. The grant will cover event costs including staff, venue hire, travel, food, and marketing.
