A historic fund serving the people of Wales since time immemorial. Supporting those in need through grants that sustain, educate, and empower.
Deep in the rolling hills of Monmouthshire, where the ancient parish of Kilgwrrwg has stood for centuries, a sacred trust was established—a fund of money given to the village community for the use of the poor.
The Welsh element cil speaks of corners and retreats, of sanctuary and protection. This Celtic Christian heritage flows through our work today as we manage these historic resources to serve those in need throughout Wales.
"A continuous thread connecting past generosity with present need, ensuring that no one in our community faces hardship alone."
Registered as charity 216476, we honour the original intent of the benefactors: to provide grants that alleviate poverty, support education and training, and offer dignity to children, the elderly, and people with disabilities across Wales.
We steward the original fund of money entrusted to the Kilgwrrwg community, ensuring these historic resources continue to serve their intended purpose: supporting the poor throughout Wales.
Grants supporting educational opportunities and vocational training for those seeking to improve their circumstances.
Supporting young people facing hardship, ensuring access to opportunities that might otherwise be beyond reach.
Assisting older individuals with grants that improve quality of life and provide security in later years.
Making grants to individuals with disabilities, supporting accessibility and independence.
Our grants reach individuals across Welsh society, creating ripples of positive change that strengthen entire communities.
Supporting the next generation with educational grants, activity funding, and resources to ensure every child has opportunity regardless of circumstance.
Enabling access to courses, materials, and vocational training that opens doors to employment and personal development.
Providing dignity and comfort in later years through grants for essential needs, home adaptations, and quality of life improvements.
Supporting independence and accessibility through grants for equipment, adaptations, and services that remove barriers.
From the villages of Monmouthshire to the communities of North Wales, our support knows no boundaries within our nation.
