LleCHI LleNI Fund

Cyngor Gwynedd administers this fund for community and voluntary groups in Gwynedd. Building on the momentum within our quarrying communities following the World Heritage Site designation for the Slate Landscapes of Northwest Wales, the main aim of the grant is to:

  • support capital and revenue projects that will improve community engagement for everyone
  • create local pride in the heritage of the slate landscapes
  • improve well-being and develop skills. 

 

Who can apply for the grant?

Community groups with a project which provides for Gwynedd residents may apply for support through the LleCHI LleNI Community Grant.

While individuals and informal groups who do not meet the criteria below may apply, they will need to do so in partnership with a group or organisation that does meet the criteria. This is because it helps to demonstrate support within the community for the proposal and in order that Cyngor Gwynedd can undertake due diligence checks for the funds allocated.

While Community or Town Councils may apply, they will need to demonstrate that the proposed activity is new and not part of their usual day-to-day activities.
