Rural regeneration grant a handy sum for Denbigh
Rural regeneration grant a handy sum for Denbigh
DENBIGHSHIRE Farm Womens Club group has received a grant of £900 for two years from the Welsh Assembly government. This was awarded as part of the Assemblys Rural Regeneration Plan and will help with running costs, speakers expenses and for members to attend the agm.
The group was formed in September 2000 and held four meetings before foot-and-mouth broke out in February 2001. It restarted in September 2001 and now has around 30 members.
Jane Jones, the groups correspondent said: "It is wonderful that the Assembly recognises the role that FWs Farm Womens Club plays in rural communities. In particular its contribution to relieving isolation and providing opportunities to relax and unwind with other women who understand the stresses of farming today. This grant will really secure the future of the club in this area."
Most counties in the UK have local voluntary services councils who can provide information about grants and help fill in application forms. Why not inquire to see if your FWC group is eligible?
This informal friendship club has more than 60 groups nationwide and is open to all female readers of FW.
