Comic Relief Grant Fund VSEF funding extended by Comic Relief

The main Voluntary Services Emergency Fund (VSEF) is funded by Welsh Government to support vulnerable people affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.  The VSEF model has been used to disseminate this Comic Relief funding. This VSEF grant is funded by Comic Relief from monies raised from the Big Night In and AVOW have been awarded £26,000 from the Wales share for the benefit of Voluntary Sector organisations across Wrexham County Borough.

Comic Relief are keen to hear about the work that you carry out in Wales and how it benefits community members under its four strategic themes:

Children survive and thrive – Actions to give children the best start in life and access to opportunities to achieve their potential

Gender justice – Actions to improve equality for women and girls

A safe place to be – Actions to help vulnerable people improve their circumstances and safety

Mental health matters – Actions to enable access to support and increase awareness

All projects must be for the direct benefit of people living within Wrexham County Borough (other County Voluntary Councils have a similar fund covering other areas in Wales).

Applications

Applications between £250 up to £1000 will be accepted – organisations with larger projects are advised to contact Nigel Davies the AVOW Funding and Advice Officer who can help in identifying a wide range of other funding sources. Nigel.davies@avow.org
