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.

Grants of up to £10,000 are now available for voluntary and community groups in Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil to deliver creative, flexible short breaks for unpaid carers. 

🕐 Application deadline: 12pm, Friday 27 June 2025 

This funding is part of the Amser Grant Scheme, which supports community and voluntary sector organisations across Wales to improve the availability and accessibility of meaningful breaks for carers.
