Who Can Help?

The rural regeneration officers form the basis of the scheme's support structure. Each of the officers has responsibility over a certain sector of the initiative, which is divided as follows:

• Food – Jane Williams
  (01446 771958 or JEwilliams@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk )
• Access to services – Michaela Thomas
  (01446 771278 or Methomas@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk)
• Tourism, arts and crafts – Phil Chappell
  (01446 772548 or PRChappell@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk)
• Admin – Victoria Trundle (01446 774634) or  vrtrundle@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk

Their role is to provide a guiding hand to new and existing community groups, encouraging and advancing ideas throughout each and every stage of the project's development. If you are not sure which of the four themes your project fits into then simply contact the office and speak to any of the four officers.

Examples of support could be….

• Use of research to identify the needs of the community.
• Creation of forums for like-minded community groups.
• Building of skills and co-operation amongst existing and emerging groups.
• Support of developing ideas and aspirations into viable projects.
