Denbighshire groups urged to apply for new grant funding
According to DLL, the grant fits into the 25/26 Shared Prosperity Fund priority of Communities and Place, the theme of Healthy, Safe and Inclusive Communities, and the sub-theme of Healthy: Improve health and wellbeing.
Jamie Groves, managing director of DLL, said: "We are delighted to once again be able to support local clubs and organisations to provide funding to improve the health and wellbeing of Denbighshire residents.
"Our community is one of the three pillars of our company, and helping maintain community participation and club infrastructure remains a priority for DLL.
"With this funding from the UK Government, and Denbighshire County Council, it will enable us to help sustain and support important third sector groups, sports and cultural organisations.
"Many clubs and organisations are run by volunteers for the benefit of the local community, and provide opportunities for people to come together, which we know has a positive impact on people's mental health and wellbeing."
According to a spokesperson for DLL, the objective of providing this community grant scheme is to support the 'strengthening of our social fabric and sense of local pride and belonging' and will have both 'short term and longer-term benefits'.
