Charities, community groups and organisations across Bridgend & Porthcawl are encouraged to attend a Funding Advice Day on Friday 27th February 2026, taking place at The Hi-Tide in Porthcawl.
The free event is being organised by Chris Elmore MP, alongside Sarah Murphy MS and Huw Irranca-Davies MS. It will bring together a wide range of funding bodies to offer practical advice and guidance on securing financial support.
Representatives from key organisations including The National Lottery Community Fund, Sport Wales, Bridgend Association of Voluntary Organisations, Wales Council for Voluntary Action, National Churches Trust and the Principality Future Generations Fund, among others, will be available to speak directly with attendees.
The event is aimed at organisations seeking grant funding, as well as those looking for advice on funding opportunities and application processes. The annual event is designed to help local organisations grow and thrive by giving them direct access to funding expertise.
Chris Elmore MP said:
“The Funding Advice Day is a fantastic opportunity for local charities and community organisations to connect with funders and gain practical guidance. This will be the tenth event I’ve organised, having first launched the initiative while representing the former Ogmore constituency. In previous years, many local groups have gone on to secure hundreds of thousands of pounds in funding. I’d strongly encourage any organisation in Bridgend & Porthcawl to sign up and take full advantage of the support available.”
