Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority Grants Committee awards funding to five innovative community projects
The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority (PCNPA) has awarded funding to five forward-thinking projects following a highly competitive round of the Sustainable Development Fund (SDF).
Meeting in late January, the Grants Committee reviewed fifteen applications from across Pembrokeshire. The exceptionally high calibre of proposals made for a difficult selection process, with the successful projects standing out for their clear vision and commitment to SDF aims.
The five successful applicants are:
- Transition Bro Gwaun
- Yr Hen Ysgol, Dinas
- The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales (Skokholm Island)
- Angle Village Hall
- St Davids City Council
These projects include the installation of renewable energy systems for community buildings and retrofit improvements to local community hubs.
Bethan Jones, Sustainability Officer at the Park Authority, said: “It was encouraging to see such ambitious ideas emerging from our local communities. These projects offer innovative solutions that will deliver a lasting, positive impact across communities in the National Park.”
With funding now secured, work on these projects has already begun. Details regarding the next round of SDF funding will be announced as soon as future budgets are confirmed, with updates shared via PAVS and other community networks.
