Jane Hutt MS, Cabinet Secretary for Culture, Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
I am pleased to announce that our Anti-racist Wales Culture, Heritage and Sport Fund for Capital grants opens for applications today for four weeks.
The Capital Grant Fund will enable projects which deliver the Culture, Heritage and Sport goals and actions in the Action Plan and our specific Programme for Government commitments. The Fund will support capital projects that have community support and can deliver a positive, sustainable change for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people in Wales. Further information on eligibility, including how to make an application, can be found here:
We have seen considerable activity in our sectors since the launch of the Action Plan, and this funding will allow our local sector organisations to take further steps towards delivering our ambition of an Anti-Racist Wales.
Members will know that I am committed to delivering the goals and actions in the Anti-racist Wales Action Plan and the Programme for Government commitments within my portfolio. I look forward to our continued progress as we deliver meaningful change with and for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people across Wales.
This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Senedd returns I would be happy to do so.
