THE latest community news from Cardigan

Plaid Cymru

THE Cardigan Plaid Cymru branch held a successful evening at the Fisherman’s Rest on Friday, 14 June, to help share information and the experiences of local community benefit groups, as well as grant opportunities available to support such initiatives.

The evening was led by county councillor Clive Davies and Member of Parliament for Ceredigion, Ben Lake.

During the evening, a presentation was given on far-reaching grant opportunities available for such community groups - drawing from examples of societies and community enterprises created in Cardigan over the last five years – and how they got started, grew from strength to strength, and received funding to achieve and support their objectives.

Following the meeting, Cllr Clive Davies said: “The success of local initiatives and groups have played a key role in Cardigan’s success as a vibrant market town over recent years.

“I welcomed the opportunity to further raise awareness of the opportunities and avenues of support available to such groups and enterprises to help them to continue to make an invaluable contribution to the town and local area.”

Ben Lake MP added: “Cardigan boasts a successful array of lively community projects and small businesses that have brought an added vigour to both the town and Ceredigion as a whole. It was useful to have the opportunity to discuss the challenges these groups face, as well as share information regarding the wide array of support and funding available to support and maintain their important work.”
