CARL SARGEANT AM HIGHLIGHTS MILLENNIUM STADIUM TRUST
Carl Sargeant, AM for Alyn and Deeside, is keen to inform constituents that applications are now being invited for the funding from the Millennium Stadium Charitable Trust.
Through its funding, the Millennium Stadium Charitable Trust seeks to improve the quality of life in Welsh communities by investing in projects for sport, the arts, community, the environment, and youth exchange programmes.
The Trust supports not-for-profit organisations, constituted voluntary organisations, charitable organisations, voluntary groups working with local authorities (applicant cannot be the local authority), and applications from groups of any age. There are different funding levels for local, regional, and national organisations, from £2,000 to £20,000.
Mr Sargeant said: “Since its establishment in 2001, the Trust has awarded more than £2.5million to 590 organisations right across Wales. All kinds of groups have been supported, including football coach accreditation schemes and weekly tea dances for over 65s with mental health problems and their carers. Community clean-ups and leisure-time schemes for disabled children have also received funding, so the scope for funding is wide.
“I would encourage local groups to contact my office on 01244 823547, or email me at carl.sargeant@wales.gov.uk to find out more.”
The Trust’s income is generated through a levy on every ticket purchased for public events at the Stadium, and it is an all-Wales organisation.
The deadline for applications is November 3rd 2008.
