Sam Rowlands, Member of the Welsh Parliament for North Wales, is urging eligible groups to apply for funding to benefit their communities in Denbighshire.
Funding totalling £101,064.42 is available to help improve open spaces and play areas across the county.
Mr Rowlands, a keen supporter of encouraging people to get involved in helping to benefit their local communities said:
I would urge any eligible groups or organisations to make sure they apply for this funding which has been made available for many towns across Denbighshire including substantial amounts in both Rhyl and Prestatyn.
There are also smaller pots for places like Llangollen, Llanynys and Llanarmon yn Iâl.
This sort of investment is very welcome and helps to make sure that local communities have open spaces which enhance local communities.
The funding comes from Commuted Sums, which are payments made by developers when it is not possible to provide outdoor open space as part of a new development. These funds are set aside to enhance parks, play areas and other open spaces, usually within the same town or community where the development took place.
A range of organisations can apply for funding, including:
· City, town and community councils
· Community and voluntary groups
· Charities
· Public sector organisations
· Amateur sports clubs
· Denbighshire County Council
The funding opened on Monday, 19 January 2026 and will close for applications on 20 April 2026. Further information and application forms is available online here: www.denbighshire.gov.uk/commutedsums.
Sam Rowlands AS yn cefnogi cyllid i gefnogi prosiectau lleol
Mae Sam Rowlands, yr Aelod o’r Senedd dros Ogledd Cymru, yn annog grwpiau cymwys i wneud cais am gyllid er budd eu cymunedau yn Sir Ddinbych.
Mae cyfanswm o £101,064.42 ar gael i helpu i wella mannau agored ac ardaloedd chwarae ledled y sir.
Meddai Mr Rowlands, sy'n gefnogwr brwd o annog pobl i gymryd rhan mewn helpu er budd eu cymunedau lleol:
Byddwn yn annog unrhyw grwpiau neu sefydliadau cymwys i wneud yn siŵr eu bod yn gwneud cais am y cyllid hwn sydd ar gael i lawer o drefi ledled Sir Ddinbych gan gynnwys symiau sylweddol yn y Rhyl a Phrestatyn.
Mae symiau llai hefyd ar gyfer llefydd fel Llangollen, Llanynys a Llanarmon yn Iâl.
Mae'r math hwn o fuddsoddiad i'w groesawu'n fawr ac yn helpu i sicrhau bod gan gymunedau lleol fannau agored sy'n gwella cymunedau lleol.
Daw'r cyllid o Commuted Sums, sef taliadau a wneir gan ddatblygwyr pan nad yw'n bosibl darparu mannau agored awyr agored fel rhan o ddatblygiad newydd. Mae'r cronfeydd hyn wedi'u neilltuo i wella parciau, ardaloedd chwarae a mannau agored eraill, fel arfer yn yr un dref neu gymuned lle digwyddodd y datblygiad.
Gall amrywiaeth o sefydliadau wneud cais am gyllid, gan gynnwys:
· Cynghorau dinas, tref a chymuned
· Grwpiau cymunedol a gwirfoddol
· Elusennau
· Sefydliadau'r sector cyhoeddus
· Clybiau chwaraeon amatur
· Cyngor Sir Ddinbych
Agorodd y cyllid ddydd Llun, 19 Ionawr 2026 a bydd yn cau ar gyfer ceisiadau ar 20 Ebrill 2026. Mae rhagor o wybodaeth a ffurflenni cais ar gael ar-lein yma: https://www.denbighshire.gov.uk/cy/cymunedau-a-byw/datblygu-cymunedol/arian-a-grantiau-cymunedol/symiau-cymudol.aspx.
