Carmarthenshire County Council is inviting local community groups, town and community councils, and registered charities to apply for grants of £1,000 - £3,000 to support projects that enhance green and blue spaces across the county.

Whether it’s tree planting, community gardens, growing spaces, nature-based solutions, or creating more welcoming public spaces, we want to hear your ideas!

This funding is available to projects located in our principal centres (Carmarthen, Llanelli, Ammanford) and the Ten Towns: Crosshands, Cwmaman, Kidwelly, Laugharne, Llandeilo, Llandovery, Llanybydder, Newcastle Emlyn, St. Clears, and Whitland.

Gwyrddu Sir Gâr is committing £39,000 to support community-led greening initiatives, made possible through funding from the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund with additional support from Carmarthenshire County Council. This scheme is designed to support local communities in developing greener, more resilient, and accessible outdoor spaces that benefit people, place, and nature.

Cllr Carys Jones, Cabinet Member for Rural Affairs, Planning and Community Cohesion, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for local groups to take the lead in improving their outdoor spaces and strengthening community connections.

“By investing in our natural environment, we are enhancing biodiversity, tackling climate challenges, and creating healthier, more vibrant places for people to enjoy. I encourage all eligible groups within the target areas to apply and be part of this positive change for Carmarthenshire.”

Applications are open until Friday, June 6, 2025.
