Community Changemakers Fund
Do you have a great idea for a project to improve the well-being of your local community?
Do you have the drive but not the money to get your idea off the ground?
We would love to help you make change happen!
About the fund
South West Wales Connected Community Rail Partnership’s Community Changemakers Fund is a community grant fund designed to support and inspire local groups to bring positive change to their communities.
We are passionate about supporting local people to improve their communities in innovative ways – small interventions that help create pride of place and promote well-being in the community.
Our Community Changemakers fund directly supports groups and organisations who want to drive positive local change, with a minimum of bureaucracy so they can get on with making change happen!
Local Changemaking Ideas could include…
- Community green spaces or growing projects
- Projects to support local businesses or “buying local”
- Projects to clean up or improve local spaces
- Projects to promote sustainability or climate action
- Ideas to promote local active travel, walking and cycling
- Creative & Cultural ideas to enhance wellbeing/pride of place
- Film or Arts projects to tell local stories relating to history of railway
- Projects that celebrate a sense of place e.g. community hub
- Projects involving young people, older people or other groups
- Ideas to improve inclusion and accessibility
