Powys County Council secured funding from the Heritage Lottery FundCadw (the Welsh Government's historic environment service) and the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority.

 

The project commemorates the centenary of World War 1 and will run until October 2019.

 

Some of the aims of the project are to:

  • Find, record and map all the war memorials in Powys.
  • Provide funding (up to £5,000 per memorial) for World War 1 memorials in Powys to be repaired, restored or maintained.
  • Provide funding (up to £200 per memorial) for the setting around the memorial, e.g. railings or paving slabs.
  • Facilitate or organising free training for communities in Powys, e.g. about how to research names on war memorials.
  • Work with communities in Powys to develop World War 1 walks and trails. 
  • Organise and facilitate World War 1 events and activities, such as film screenings or musical performances.
  • Support other World War 1 programmes, projects and initiatives.
