A sports club, health centre, and facility for homeless young people in North Wales are among the beneficiaries of Welsh Government funding.

The funding was announced by Jane Hutt, the Cabinet Secretary for Culture and Social Justice.

The money is being provided through the Community Facilities Programme, a capital grant scheme aimed at helping voluntary sector organisations improve community facilities such as sports clubs and community halls for the benefit of the people they serve.

Digartref Cyf in Holyhead is to receive £300,000 for the redevelopment of Holyhead Enterprise Centre into the Lighthouse Homeless Hub.

The renovations will include laundry and bathing facilities, a fully equipped kitchen, interview rooms, an IT suite, and a relaxation area.

Byw’n Lach Cyf in Bangor will receive £159,670 to create a new health and fitness space for people with limited mobility.

Malltraeth Ymlaen in Anglesey will use £212,000 to purchase and refurbish Canolfan Hen Ysgol Bordorgan.

This will involve installing a new kitchen and accessible toilets, as well as developing a community garden.

GISDA in Pwllheli is receiving £292,000 to purchase and refurbish a new base on the Llyn Peninsula.

They will create a centre for vulnerable and homeless young people, including emergency and temporary accommodation.

The Canolfan Ucheldre Centre in Holyhead is set to receive £19,334 to refurbish and add additional community areas to the centre.

This will provide more space for community use, including disabled access and a changing places facility.

Ms Hutt said: “The Community Facilities Programme is important in helping organisations improve facilities so local people can benefit from them in their day to day lives.

“Each recipient of support from the programme provides a crucial service to the people they serve and it is great the Welsh Government is able to help them do even more.”
