THREE organisations in Monmouthshire are set to benefit from a share of the £600,000 of National Lottery money to help fund their projects.

Monmouth Music Festival and the National Eisteddfod for Wales each receive a grant of £5,000, while Wild Tots have been allocated a grant of £4,960 to set up further branches of their group in Monmouthshire and Blaenau Gwent.

Speaking on Monday (18th July), Monmouth AM Nick Ramsay said: “I was delighted to hear that these local organisations have been awarded grants which will help them develop and expand.

“I would urge other local organisations in need of grant aid to consider applying for Big Lottery Funding.”
