Funding support
Cylch offers general support to it’s Members relating to funding.
To date Cylch has been responsible primarily for providing advice and support on two main funding streams: the Cleanstream® fund (now closed) and the Strategic Recycling Scheme (SRS) (now closed). This was achieved in partnership with the Wales Council for Voluntary Action, Environment Agency Wales, The Big Lottery Fund, Welsh Local Government and The National Assembly Government.
The Charity Bank Wales has recently tendered for and won a contract to administer a £3m ‘Cylch Capacity Building Investment Fund’. Involvement of the Charity Bank will mean that substantial further funds will be levered into Wales through this initial funding.
Current details of the Capacity Building Fund are available to members only on this web-site with further details being worked out at present
