Community Feasibility Fund

We provide support for Bridgend’s communities to undertake local resilience planning, focusing on Health, Climate and Economy.
The Community Feasibility Fund continues the success of the Reach programme with the aspiration of developing Bridgend’s communities into thriving places to live, visit and work.
It is a funding support programme specifically for the development of community feasibility studies.
