Caffi Cymraeg

Community groups across Wales are being reminded that there is still time to apply for the Perthyn grant, which supports communities to develop social enterprises or community-led housing projects.

Grants of up to £5,000 are available from the Welsh Government’s Perthyn fund to help groups take their first steps in establishing their work and putting plans into action. 

Since 2022, the scheme has supported Welsh-speaking communities, with 64 grants awarded to groups in Gwynedd, Conwy, Anglesey, Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. 

This year, the scheme has been expanded so that communities across Wales can apply.

Community groups must apply by 31 January 2026.
