Welcome to Glasu

Welcome to Glasu.

We are a rural development initiative providing assistance and support to businesses, individuals and community groups in Powys.

Our activities are part funded through the Rural Development Plan for Wales 2008 to 2013 which is financed by the European Union and the Welsh Government, as well as Powys County Council and Countryside Council for Wales.

Our new project for 2011 - 2013 is called 'A Resilient Powys'. The programme aims to support the diversification and sustainability of the rural economy and improve the quality of life of Powys' citizens.

Glasu seeks to support individuals, communities and businesses to become more resilient to the local, national and global economic and environmental challenges that they face through the five different project themes:

Farm Diversification
Business Innovation
Innovative Tourism
Community Resilience
Cultural Heritage

Collectively these deliver a programme of support and financial assistance to encourage innovative, bottom-up, sustainable and small scale initiatives, led by individuals, businesses and communities.

Further information about the different project themes and project officer details are available using the site navigation menu on the left.

Please note that the project runs from 1st March 2011 to 31st December 2013 and funding is limited.
