Welsh Community Recycling Sector Awarded £3m Fund

The Welsh Assembly Government has awarded the community recycling sector in Wales £3 million over three years to help build capacity. This will be designed to help Cylch member organisations achieve the investment necessary for them to be sustainable long-term social enterprises.

The fund will be used to provide suitable investment that will help the sector in Wales deliver waste minimisation, reuse, recycling and composting activities. In order to avoid any conflicts of interest the Cylch Capacity Building Fund will be administered independently of Cylch, following selection of a contractor by the end of March. Further details will be announced once an administrator has been approved, with guidelines, eligibility criteria and how to apply available later in the year.
