About Us

Glasu is a local partnership of public, private and voluntary/community organisations and our key objective is to support a sustainable future for people in Powys.  

We form part of the Powys Rural Partnership, which was set up in 2000 to oversee the development, management and implementation of the current objective 2 and objective 3 programme in Powys. 

The Powys Regeneration Partnership is currently managing the Rural Development Plan for Powys which is a European Union and Welsh Assembly Government funded programme to promote the development of rural areas.  The Rural Development Plan has four Axis.  

Glasu looks specifically at projects that fit within Axis 3 and Axis 4:

Axis 3 – Improving the quality of life in rural areas and diversifying the rural economy

Axis 4 – Developing the Leader approach.  This supports people who have ideas they would like to develop at the grassroots level and assists in community involvement and development.
