The funding, designed to support not-for-profit groups that benefit Ammanford residents, offers up to £1,000 per successful applicant for the 2026-27 financial year. The council assesses applications quarterly through its finance committee, so groups are advised to allow several months for a decision. Recent beneficiaries of the scheme include Ammanford Scouts, Ammanford Town Silver Band and Shadows Depression Support Group, which was supported for its mental health work in the community. Applicants can download the financial assistance application form in English or Welsh from the town council’s website or request a paper copy from the office at 13 Wind Street, Ammanford, SA18 3DN. Applicants are advised to read the council’s Financial Assistance Policy and include their most recent audited accounts with their submission.
