First Minister and Labour leader in Wales, Baroness Eluned Morgan, delivers a keynote speech marking one year to the 2026 Senedd election, at the Norwegian Church in Cardiff, May 6, 2025
THE Welsh First Minister announced today a £1 million fund to help communities celebrate St David’s Day next year.
Eluned Morgan said the new fund for communities will open for activities aimed at bringing communities together on March 1, to celebrate Wales’ patron saint Dewi Sant.
“St David’s Day is a chance to celebrate Wales’ unique and rich tapestry of traditions,” she said,
“From school eisteddfods to St David’s Day parades, people across Wales and around the world come together to show off the best of our culture and so much more that Wales has to offer.”
Local groups can apply for grants from £500 to £5,000 to deliver local or neighbourhood events, up to £20,000 is available for regional organisations, such as local authorities, and up to £40,000 for Wales-wide organisations to deliver nationwide activities.
“Next year’s extra activities will celebrate our spirit, our pride and the unity that define us,” the First Minister said.
