“Collaborating for change: Responding to Child Poverty in Powys”

Local Engagement Pilot Initiatives

Welsh Government recently confirmed funding for a partnership project between Powys County Council and Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations (PAVO) through their Child Poverty Innovation Grant. Within this project Powys County Council and PAVO allocated funding for a small grant scheme called the Local Engagement Pilot Initiatives to support families and children who are experiencing poverty or impacted by the cost-of-living crisis.

This small grant scheme offers a funding opportunity where individual organisations and groups can apply to deliver community focused initiatives and events that will focus support for low-income families, families experiencing poverty or those impacted by the cost of living.

The application form and grant guidance are below.

The application window is open between 11 November 2024 and 29 November 2024 (closing at 12 noon on 29 November).

All activities must be delivered and funding spent by 31 March 2025.

There will also be a drop-in session at 9am on Friday 15 November 2024 for anyone who has questions about the grant scheme and the application process. If you would like to join this session, please contact education@powys.gov.uk by 5pm on 14 November 2024.
