Grant archive
PAVS has a strong track record of running grant schemes in Pembrokeshire. Beginning with the launch of the Sustainable Pembrokeshire Small grants scheme in July 2001 the organisation has established a strong reputation in providing grants for local groups in the County.
The Keyfund scheme came to an end in 2006.
The Sustainable Pembrokeshire Small grants scheme closed in March 2008.
Sustainable Pembrokeshire Small grants scheme
Scheme closed - March 2008!
Following seven successful years of grant-giving, the Sustainable Pembrokeshire Small grants scheme has closed. Many groups throughout Pembrokeshire have carried out different projects bringing wide-spread benefits to communities across the county.
The remaining funding was fully allocated in the final round of the scheme on the 13th February 2008.
What was the Sustainable Pembrokeshire Small Grants Scheme?
The scheme was a local initiative to encourage the development of sustainable projects that help improve the quality of life for current and future generations. The capital/ revenue funding supported projects that focused on improving environmental, social, cultural and economic aspects of life.
The scheme was funded by the Welsh Assembly Governments' Community Facilities and Activities Programme.

The Pembrokeshire
Keyfund was funded by the European Union European Regional
Development Fund (ERDF) and the National Assembly of Wales'
Local Regeneration Fund.
So what was the Pembrokeshire Keyfund?
The Objective 1
programme targeted five wards in Pembrokeshire for additional
support to help them tackle deprivation and/or peripherality.
- Maenclochog Ward
- St. Dogmaels Ward
- Pembroke Dock Central Ward
- Pembroke Monkton Ward
- Pembroke Dock Llanion Ward
In order to simplify
the process of accessing the funds earmarked for these wards,
PAVS in conjunction with other agencies introduced the
Pembrokeshire Keyfund.
The Keyfund was able to support both the revenue (e.g. running
costs) and/or capital (e.g. building works and equipment)
costs of a project. In total £368,180 was available
over the last 3 years. As this was a 100% grant scheme voluntary
and community groups were not required to provide match
funding.
This grant scheme for community led regeneration was managed
by Pembrokeshire Association of Voluntary Services (PAVS),
working in partnership with representatives from Pembroke
Dock Central, Pembroke Dock Llanion, Pembroke Monkton, Maenclochog,
St Dogmaels, PLANED and Pembrokeshire County Council (PCC).
