Current funders and grants

The National Lottery Community Fund (Wales)

FTWW secured a Lottery Awards for All grant for our “Knowledge is power” project to refresh our website, make it more accessible and create new downloadable resources for our community.

In addition to this, our ‘Hear My Health’, project will see our newly expanded team working to increasing awareness of the support provided by FTWW. This means that we can grow our membership and delivering more activities for our members, including peer support and discussion forums, webinars on topics our members find useful, and co-producing practical resources for our members’ and volunteers’ use.

The Waterloo Foundation

Thanks to the Waterloo Foundation, FTWW continues to be able to ensure ongoing engagement with our members and volunteers, including via our monthly bi-lingual newsletter and online community group. This funding will also help us recruit, support, and equip more of our volunteers to represent the charity and advocate for themselves and others in a range of health-related spaces.

Welsh Government

The ‘Equality & Inclusion Funding Programme’ (2024/25) grant from Welsh Government is hugely valuable and contributes to some of our core operational costs. The programme recognises that women who are disabled or living with long-term health issues can often experience additional disadvantages when it comes to their health and wider wellbeing, so this funding helps FTWW ensure that those intersections are better understood in the work the Welsh Government undertakes.
