Retailers in Wales are required to charge customers 5p for a single-use carrier bag. ASDA has decided to use this money to support good causes that benefit the local community in areas where its stores are located.
Not-for-profit organisations can apply for grants of up to £2,000 for projects in the following areas:
- Children and young people.
- Older people.
- Health.
- Community cohesion.
The grants can help meet a wide range of costs for community groups, including equipment, materials and local community activities and events.
You’ll find further information on the Community Foundation in Wales website.
The deadline for applications is 30 September 2015.
