Community centres and venues in North Wales are being invited to apply for new furniture and IT equipment.

Grŵp Llandrillo Menai's Multiply department is establishing a network of educational hubs across Conwy, Denbighshire, Gwynedd, and Môn.

The group is looking for centres to receive the equipment to transform into effective teaching spaces.

These areas will host Multiply numeracy courses as well as other educational programmes.

The project is funded by the UK Government via the Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF).

The aim is to support 24 community locations across the four counties, promoting lifelong learning.

The plan involves converting space in local authority-owned venues or community venues into bespoke teaching/conference rooms.

This will provide adults returning to learning with access to numeracy courses and other educational opportunities.

The initiative aims to leave a 'lasting legacy,' supporting numeracy development for the hardest-to-reach areas and learners.

The aim is to install new equipment in six community spaces in each of the four counties.

This will include a tutor workstation, an interactive screen for presentations, chairs and desks, Chromebooks, and Chromebook trolleys.

Each space will accommodate up to 20 learners.

These improvements will offer flexible learning environments that cater to the needs of the communities, as well as creating 'vibrant, well-equipped spaces' where courses can be delivered.

To be considered for the opportunity, venues must be located within Conwy, Denbighshire, Gwynedd, or Môn.

They must demonstrate current or planned use for educational and community learning activities.

The equipment provided must be insured and include linked services such as electricity and Wi-Fi.

Interested parties are required to complete the application form and submit it by the deadline of December 2.

Applicants are required to complete all sections of the form with detailed responses and include the requested supporting documents.

A scoring panel will evaluate applications based on community impact, readiness, sustainability, and alignment with the project's objectives.

Successful applications will result in installation work starting, with the newly refurbished facilities set to open in early 2025.

Sioned Williams, Multiply project manager, said: "We are pleased to be able to offer this equipment to community spaces in the four counties.

"Multiply has already empowered more than 2,300 people across Conwy, Denbighshire, Gwynedd and Môn by delivering confidence-boosting and transformative numeracy courses.

"This project will leave a lasting legacy across the four counties following the Multiply project, ensuring the continuation of vital educational opportunities and support for the hardest to reach areas and learners.

"I encourage any interested parties to complete the application form, as it could result in an invaluable lasting educational resource for your community."

Engagement coordinators in the respective counties can be contacted with questions or for support with completing the form.
