FCFCG Site Visits Travel Bursary Scheme: In Wales the Tyfu Pobl Site Visits Travel Bursary (funded through the Rural Development Plan for Wales 2007-2013, which is itself funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and the European Union) is open to anyone actively engaged in community growing who wishes to visit other such groups to share ideas and good practice. You may apply for up to £150 in total for travel expenses to visit other community farms and gardens. If your expenses are likely to amount to more than this figure, please contact FCFCG Wales Office to discuss availability of additional funding. Host projects will be paid by FCFCG in recognition of their time and also the value of such visits to the community farming and gardening movement in Wales.
