Awards for All Wales

Awards for All Wales wish to help the lives of local people and their communities by improving community and grassroots activities. The needs of people in most need within their communities should be addressed. Funded projects and activities should include the following key purposes:

  • Support community activities
  • Improve access and participation
  • Increase skill and creativity
  • Improve people’s quality of life

Eligible Organisations

  • Voluntary and community organisations
  • Schools
  • Health bodies
  • Community or town councils

This also includes registered charities, CIOs, CICs, not-for-profit companies, and statutory bodies, as long as schools benefit the wider community.

Suitable Projects

  • Events, activities or performances
  • Equipment or materials
  • Training programmes
  • New projects or groups
  • Repairs or conservation work
  • Expenses
  • Transport costs
  • Educational toys and equipment

Projects can also include staff costs, volunteer expenses, environmental projects, and activities that improve health, skills, or community spaces.

Application Process

  • Read and comply with the online guidance documents
  • Complete and send in an application four months before the start of the project
  • A decision should be made within 10 weeks

Applications are accepted all year, decisions take around 12 weeks, and funding must be approved before spending begins.

Important Dates

There are no deadlines as applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Apply at least 12 weeks before you need the funding, as demand is high.

Funding Range

Grants can range from £300 up to £20,000 for projects lasting up to two years, depending on need and impact.
