Established in 2022, Perthyn provides local early-stage support to communities in north and west Wales with high levels of second home ownership who are interested in developing social enterprise ideas to support and protect the Welsh language.
The fifth round of Perthyn grants is now open for applications, with a deadline of 12pm on Friday, 21 November 2025.
Applications are welcomed from community groups who haven’t previously received a Perthyn grant. Applications should show that your group is aiming to:
- create new social or co-operative enterprises
- support new enterprises to realise innovative plans
- develop community-led co-operative housing projects
- establish Community Land Trusts
- place the Welsh language at the heart of your project.
Please note that applications from organisations representing communities will not be considered – applications must come directly from the community group, showing a clear community-led vision.
Please visit Perthyn - Cwmpas for full details, guidance, and the application form.
