Thanks to thousands of National Lottery players across West Wales, community organisations in Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire have been awarded a total of £133,030 in support since November 2021.
A variety of different projects have been allocated National Lottery charity funding, including Carmarthen Stroke Group; an organisation that provides ongoing and regular support and activities for stroke survivors.
Speaking following the announcement, Samuel Kurtz MS said:
