Community Engagement

Supporting the local communities within which we work.

Welsh Power has developed a Community Support Fund which awards grants to community organisations towards their work, initiatives or events held in the local community.

To support the local communities within which we work, Welsh Power has developed a Community Chest Local Grant scheme to award grants to community organisations to support their work, or to support initiatives or events held in the local community. Organisations and individuals who are contributing to the community locally near our sites could benefit from Community Chest Local Grants of up to £500.

Welsh Power is inviting applications for the Community Chest Local Grant scheme. Each individual grant awarded will be up to £500. Grants will be made quarterly.

The Community Chest Local Grant scheme is open to all local community groups, voluntary organisations, individuals, sports/recreational clubs or similar (of a non-commercial nature) who are contributing to their community in the vicinity of any of the sites we manage.

Welsh Power is promoting support for good causes and will do what it can to help local communities help themselves wherever we are based. If you’re working to improve your local community we want to hear from you.

Anyone who wants to apply can request or submit an application form to info@welshpower.com.

The applications will be considered and the winners will be chosen by the Directors of Welsh Power.
