ACHIEVEMENTS
This report covers the period April 2020 to end May 2021, most of which was spent in months of full or partial Lock-Down. Over this time Dŵr Anafon continued to make grants available to the communities of Abergwyngregyn and Llanfairfechan.
Applications were less than expected, as many organisations had put their activities on hold because of government restrictions and social distancing requirements. Nevertheless, a number were received and approved and in April 2021 there was a renewed interest in grant applications, particularly from Llanfairfechan.
In March 2019 the project Energy Saving Aber had been launched in Abergwyngregyn, with the aim of improving the energy efficiency of homes in the village. In November 2019 Dŵr Anafon set aside a total of £20,000 to enable those who had completed surveys to carry out work recommended. Strict criteria were set for these grants. The closing date for applications was 31[st] October 2020 and a total of £9400.38 had been distributed with a further £2225 allocated pending completion of the work. A further £20,000 has been set aside for new energy efficiency grants for the coming financial year. To date there has been one application for approximately £2000 with several other households expressing an interest.
In June and November 2020 grants of £1,191.60 and £750 were made to Llanfairfechan Bowling Club for repairs to border fencing and their pavilion roof.
Also in June 2020 an emergency evacuation chair was provided for Yr Hen Felin at a cost of £741.00.
In October 2020 a grant to the value of £846.00 was made to Llanfairfechan Croquet Club for the provision of new equipment.
Three student grants , totalling £1,500.00, to cover the costs of equipment etc., were made over the period. Dwr Anafon has set a limit of £500 each on such applications.
Two crisis grants, totalling £ 1000, were made to residents of Abergwyngregyn following an accident and serious flooding in the village. Such crisis grants are restricted to people living in Abergwyngregyn.
