Helping Wales' third sector access European funding
 

Hello from 3-SET     

Hello, and welcome to 3-SET's February newsletter. Spring is nearly here, and in the spirit of renewal, we're pleased to announce that a new round of the Active Inclusion Fund is open to organisations that are on the Approved Beneficiaries List.

We've also been busy speaking to some groups who've been funded in the past - you can scroll down to see some of the important work that projects backed by European Funds can achieve, even through lockdown restrictions. Adjusting to the new world that pandemic has left us in has been difficult for everyone, and it's important to celebrate the good work the sector has managed, now more than ever.

We hope you find this newsletter useful. Until next month, take care.
