MS visits Powys group working tirelessly for community

“JAMES Evans visited a community organisation in Powys last week to hear about the fantastic work they are doing for local residents.

Mr Evans, Member of the Senedd for Brecon and Radnorshire, heard about the work Builth Wells Community Support (BWCS) are undertaking for the town and surrounding areas, which has been helped by £100,000 of National Lottery funding during the pandemic."

BWCS successfully applied for a £99,795 grant to cover buying, running and driving a new electric vehicle over the next three years. Mr Evans heard first-hand about how the scheme was launched for the local community. With the aid of funding the organisation was able to expand its community transport provision so that more isolated and vulnerable people can access this vital service, improving their health and wellbeing. The grant over will also help fund salaries, vehicle lease and running costs.”
