    Pembrokeshire County Council is soon to open the latest round of Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant funding, with expressions of interest invited between 1 October 2026 and 30 October 2026.

    The grant is intended to offset the negative impacts of second home ownership in local communities. The 2026-2027 funding cycle offers about £142,000 from the council’s Second Home Council Tax Premium, for grants of up to £15,000.

    The scheme has already supported over 300 organisations across Pembrokeshire with more than £6m funding for a broad range of community projects. Enquiries are welcome from constituted community groups, charities, social enterprises and Town and Community Councils.

    Cabinet Members for Communities, Cllrs Aaron Carey and Sam Skyrme-Blackhall, said: “The Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant continues to make a real difference to communities across the county, helping local organisations deliver projects that benefit residents and strengthen community life.

    “Since its introduction, the scheme has supported hundreds of projects and invested millions of pounds into initiatives that help address the impacts of second home ownership in our communities.

    “We would encourage eligible groups, charities, social enterprises and Town and Community Councils to consider how this funding could support local priorities and help bring positive improvements to their area.

    “We look forward to receiving expressions of interest and seeing the benefits this latest round of funding will deliver for communities across Pembrokeshire.”
