Keeping Wales Tidy is a difficult and at sometimes, dirty job, and luckily, the members of the Safer Communities Action Group have no worries about finding the funding they need for their clean up graffiti project as they’ve received a secure fund of £904.88 from Keep Wales Tidy.
Keep Wales Tidy is now able to support volunteer groups around Wales by offering free insurance to the groups and anyone who is fighting to improve their local communities.
Funded by the Welsh Assembly Government’s local Environmental Quality Department, the groups who are tackling practical environmental projects such as Graffiti removal can really benefit from the new scheme.
The Safer Communities Action Group, in partnership with Communities First, have recently had their application approved and are now able to carry out their removal of graffiti within Glanymor & Tyisha, Llanelli now that they are insured.
The Action Group will be working together with the Wales Probation Trust and Carmarthenshire County Council to make these wards a graffiti-free area.
Through the Tidy Towns Project, Keep Wales Tidy is also able to offer financial assistance to other community groups who have shown a commitment to restoring their local communities to their former appearances.
The support and practical assistance is available from its tidy town officers who are on hand across Wales to offer the help and advice on forming groups, running events and also applying for grants.
