Voluntary and community organisations across Caerphilly County Borough will now be able to benefit from funding to help them turn into sustainable not-for-profit companies.
The South East Wales Community Economic Development Programme was launched recently in New Tredegar at the White Rose Resource Centre.
The flexible grant scheme is available to support projects up until August 2015 and is available in Bridgend, Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Torfaen. The programme is supported by structural funds through the EU Convergence Programme.
Funding is available to a wide range of organisations that have ambitions to develop into economically sustainable organisations. The funding is open to voluntary and community organisations, charities, social enterprises, co-operatives and mutuals.
