The total project costs are budgeted at £152,887 of which the HLF contributed an initial £15,400 to undertake the various surveys and produce the Schedule of Works. Now HLF have provided he remaining £64,600 towards the renovation. Other major contributors of Grants that made the project possible were: National Churches Trust Community Foundation in Wales Garfield Weston Foundation All Churches Trust Representative Body of the Church in Wales List Places of Worship Scheme Our local people have been, as always very generous contributing by way of private donations and fund raising events - typical of which was last year’s Extravaganza in Victoria Hall and a joint cake stall at the Man versus Horse event where Friends of Ysgol Dolafon and St. David’s Renovation Fund were the beneficiaries. Of huge significance from The Heritage Lottery Funds perspective was the many letters of support that were included with our initial application. These came from a wide cross section of the local community – individuals, businesses and our Town Council. A heart felt thank you to all of you – let the work on preserving St. David’s for future generations begin.

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR , Mr P.R JAMES (MBE) As Mayor of Llanwrtyd I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for supporting this exciting development on the Dolwen Field. This development is for ALL within the Community. To date we have £4006.25 in the Project funds and I would personally like to thank Mrs Croucher for her generous donation of £400.00 following the death of her husband and to Mrs M. Watkins for her generous donation of £150.00 following her 80th birthday party and for allowing funds raised in memory of her late husband to be used for the project. Thanks also go to ; Tescos for their grant of £2000.00 P. James for raising £655.00 for growing his moustache through “Movember month”, Lynn Ball who walked the Camino Way(118kms in all) with a group of wonderful Pilgrims from Llanwrtyd Wells asking family and friends to sponsor her for the project (amount raised still to come ) Jim Davies for organising the forthcoming “Shane Davies Memorial Road Run” which will be taking place on Sunday 20th May Everyone really wants this project to succeed and we will continue to raise funds and apply for grants. One of the criteria for grant applications is that we can demonstrate community involvement and we are putting together a portfolio of evidence to submit to the funders. We now have an independent Committee with its own constitution and we are working with Powys on our planning application. The Dolwen Field was given to the Community of Llanwrtyd Wells by the late Alderman Bevington Gibbins for recreational use by all who lived in the Community (not just the children of Llanwrtyd).
