Monthly Funding Bulletins – Interlink RCT English

Interlink RCT is pleased to announce that our Community Grants programme is relaunching, thanks to funding from the Graig Fatha Co-op. Since summer 2022, we’ve been proud to distribute over £320,700 in grants across Rhondda Cynon Taf, supporting a wide range of grassroots initiatives. From family support services to projects for older people, energy-saving improvements to community buildings, these grants have had a real impact across our communities. Check out our map below of community groups that have received grants in RCT!

Thanks to continued support from the Graig Fatha Wind Farm, Interlink RCT will be awarding up to 10 grants each per month, with each grant worth up to £1,000. With a limited amount of grant funding available, we’re especially looking for projects that:

• Involve communities in a meaningful way
• Tackle cost-of-living challenges
• Support long-term community development
• Support the environment and climate change
• Remove barriers to participation/engagement

Please note: we are not able to fund one-off events or standalone activities.

The first round is now open to Interlink members. Before submitting an application, you must speak with a member of the Interlink Community Advice Team to ensure your proposal meets the updated criteria.

Contact us at: communityadvice@interlinkrct.org.uk

Full grant criteria and application form available here.

We anticipate further updates to the grant programme in the autumn, and we’ll share more information as it becomes available.

Together with Graig Fatha Co-op, we’re continuing to invest in the power of communities across RCT.

Following an exceptional programme last year, Interlink and VAMT are working with the Carers Trust to once again provide Amser grants of up to £10,000 for community and voluntary organisations to provide support and activities for unpaid carers and their loved ones during 2025/26. We want these grants to target unpaid carers from diverse groups and communities, including men, BAME, LGBTQ+ and young people. We expect these grants to go live around the 1st June, with a deadline for applications on the 27th June. So watch this space, on our bulletins and website for more information.
