The latest round of funding available through the Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant run by Pembrokeshire County Council is now open.

The Grant has already supported over 300 organisations across Pembrokeshire with more than £6m funding, for a broad range of community projects.

The purpose of the Grant is to off-set the negative impacts of second home ownership in local communities.

The 2026-2027 funding cycle offers about £142,000 sourced from the Council's Second Home Council Tax Premium, for grants of up to £15,000.

Expressions of Interest are invited between now and 30 October 2026.

Enquiries are welcome from constituted community groups, charities, social enterprises and Town and Community Councils.

PCC Cabinet Members for Communities, Cllrs Aaron Carey and Sam Skyrme-Blackhall (county councillor for Tenby’s South Ward) said: “The Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant continues to make a real difference to communities across the county, helping local organisations deliver projects that benefit residents and strengthen community life.

“Since its introduction, the scheme has supported hundreds of projects and invested millions of pounds into initiatives that help address the impacts of second home ownership in our communities.

“We would encourage eligible groups, charities, social enterprises and Town and Community Councils to consider how this funding could support local priorities and help bring positive improvements to their area.
