Groundwork to receive £ 3.2M from Assembly Government

‘I am very pleased with the announcement made by Leighton Andrews AM today of the funding awarded to Groundwork Wales.’ Gwenda Thomas AM for Neath stated today.

‘Groundwork Wales have had extensive involvement in environmental regeneration projects in the Neath constituency. These have included the provision of river benches in Godregraig, hanging baskets in Crynant, the construction of sensory gardens, murals and a vast range environmental improvements. They have also worked in partnership with local schools and youth groups upgrading play areas and involving the children in all aspects of horticultural and green activities.’

Gwenda Thomas continued by saying, ‘ This is a delightful charity which not only improves the lives of local people but also addresses serious environmental issues, and I hope that the £ 3.2M funding from the Welsh Assembly Government will ensure the continuation of the excellent work of Groundwork Wales’.
