Thinking about Lottery Funding -

 The National Lottery Community Fund – Rhondda Cynon Taf & Merthyr Tydfil Funding Event

We’re hosting an online session on 10^th March aimed at community groups and charities in Rhondda Cynon Taf & Merthyr Tydfil, to tell you more about our funding, and to give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help and want to talk to you about your ideas to support your community.

 We continue to make sure our National Lottery funds support people and communities in Wales through COVID-19. Our funds remain open and mostly unchanged but we're expanding our funding and support to help communities to adapt, recover and thrive.

Projects don’t have to be related to COVID-19, but when they are, we’re looking to support projects that are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic by:

• supporting organisations to adapt or diversify to respond to new and future challenges;
• supporting communities adversely affected by COVID-19;
• supporting communities and organisations to become more resilient, to help them to respond better to future crises.

 To complement this, VAMT are hosting funding surgeries on 17 March, giving groups and individuals the change to discuss their plans in more detail with Lottery Staff.

We've still got a couple of slots available in the afternoon - please email Hilary Edwards at VAMT  to book.
