Our Community Grant Fund has £30,000 available each year to support projects that make a difference in our communities.
We’re looking for United Welsh residents to join our friendly volunteer panel. You’ll help review applications and decide which projects receive funding. It’s a rewarding way to have your say, meet other people and help make a positive difference in your community.
The Community Grant Fund Panel is a group of volunteer residents who review applications from resident and community groups, local charities and other organisations.
Applicants can ask for between £250 and £5,000, so you’ll see a wide range of ideas, from small local activities to larger community projects.
You don’t need any previous experience. We’ll give you full training and support to help you understand the grant criteria and review each application fairly.
As part of the panel, you would:
- Read and review applications against the grant criteria
- Discuss applications with other panel members
- Help decide whether an application should be approved or declined
- Identify where more information is needed before a decision can be made
- Have the option to visit projects and see their work first-hand
- Take part in training and updates when needed
The Customer Involvement Team will support you throughout.
By joining the panel, you’ll help make sure funding decisions reflect what matters to local people.
The projects supported through the fund can help strengthen neighbourhoods, improve wellbeing and bring communities together. Your knowledge and experience as a resident will help the panel understand which ideas could make a real difference.
