o A Wales of cohesive communities
o A Wales of vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language

• Groups can only receive grant once in a financial year.

What are grants given for?
The following guidelines are given to help groups determine whether they qualify for assistance. Groups can apply for grants to cover:

  1. The capital costs, or a contribution towards the costs of, any new or replacement equipment that may be required to assist the group in its activities
  2. The costs, or a contribution towards the costs involved in the presentation of an event, concert, performance or specific activity produced by a local group
  3. The costs involved in the establishment of a new local voluntary or charitable group.

In addition, Mold Town Council will give consideration to requests for grants towards the general running costs of any group. The Town Council will consider giving a commitment for a contribution for up to a period of three years towards these general running costs. These applications will only be considered at the January meeting of the Town Council.
