£1m fund to help celebrate patron saint

A NEW fund which will see community groups able to claim a share of £1m is being set up by the Welsh Government.

- 

The money is being set aside to help them celebrate St David's Day.

Organisations will be able to apply for three levels of funding, from small community groups to major national groups.

The idea is to suggest activities aimed at bringing communities together around the day of Wales' patron saint Dewi Sant, on March 1.

Activities could include parades, music performances, community workshops, traditional Welsh folk dancing (twmpathau) or foodbased events.
