Awards for All Wales covers Wales.

Awards for All Wales aims to:

• Support community activity - by helping communities to meet their needs through voluntary action, self-help projects, local facilities or events. (By communities we mean people in a local area or people who share a common interest or need.)
• Extend access and participation – by encouraging more people to become actively involved in local groups and projects, and by supporting activities that aim to be open and accessible to everyone who wishes to take part.
• Increase skill and creativity – by supporting activities which help to develop people and organisations, improve skills and raise standards.
• Improve the quality of life - by supporting local projects that improve people’s opportunities, health, welfare, environment or local facilities, especially those most disadvantaged in society.
