Môn CF People's Health Trust Community Chest Fund

Closing Date: 27/09/2023 | 12 noon

The People’s Health Trust Community Chest Fund is a round of funding made available to support community groups and organisations benefitting the people of Holyhead.

The grants are made available to provide financial support that many community groups need to thrive.

By empowering local people, we can help groups and organisations be more active in their community. Providing the funding they need helps groups source essential equipment, fund their activities, and support individuals in their community.

Grants for 2023/24 are now available and applications can be made now.

If you’re part of an organisation or group that benefits people from Holyhead, apply today.

Please send completed application forms via email to rozzy@moncf.co.uk, or bring paper copies to reception at our Holyhead Office
