F.A.F. Initiative

'F.A.F. Initiative' is the abbreviation for the Community Councils Financial Assistance Funding Initiative. The Community Council’s Financial Assistance Funding Initiative is a Council programme which aims to support the voluntary sector in the Community.

Local groups which work specifically in Pontlliw and Tircoed, are not party political, debtors of the Council, or owe any other outstanding obligation to the Authority are able to apply for consideration for funding under the Initiative.

Each application is judged on the basis of merit.
