Pembrokeshire
KEYFUND - All grant funds committed
St. Teilo's Church Hall
St. John's Community
Hall
With the recent award of a further £62,439 to nine community
projects, the eyfund has committed all of the £368,125
available to support community led projects in the five targetted
wards.
Forty-six grass roots projects have
been supported in all, a success story that would not have
been possible without the active support and partnership of
local community members, community councils, PLANED, Pembrokeshire
County Council and PAVS.
The last round of
applications was heavily oversubscribed and it was not possible
for the panel to support all the projects that came forward.
PAVS will, however, be working with it's partners to identify
other sources of support for these initiatives and additional
resources are available to do this through the Rural Community
Action Partnership.

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).
