Wales
From our coastlines and castles to our landscapes, literature and the oldest spoken language in Europe, Wales has an ancient and mythical heritage. It’s the land of rolling hillsides, historic ruins and an industrial heritage that once saw Welsh slate and coal being exported across the world.
Take a look below at some of the projects we have funded.
Funding
