Major funding boost for youth in green industries

RCS is thrilled to have received a funding award for an exciting new project in North Wales to support young people with disabilities/additional needs as well as young people from ethnic minority communities into ‘green’ careers.  The £3,108,371 award is made through the Dormant Assets fund, which is being delivered by the National Lottery Community Fund.

The project has been shaped with our partners Adferiad, Co-options, Academi Natur Mon, STAND North Wales CIC and M-Sparc, and have had lots of input into the proposal from young people, employers and other organisations.

The funding gives a huge boost to our mission to help people unlock their potential through work, and at the same time play an active part in making a greener and more inclusive Wales.
