£15m grant to build community learning centres

n additional 21 community hubs and learning centres are to be provided throughout Wales thanks to a £15m Community Hubs Capital Grant fund announced by Education Minister Kirsty Williams.The fund comes as part of the 21st Century Schools and Education Programme, which will see an investment of £3.7 billion over two waves of investment, which began in 2014, to replace and refurbish education buildings throughout Wales.The primary purpose of the £15m will be to fund projects that cater for the local community.This could be through adapting existing buildings for wider community use, such as increasing the size of a school hall, by providing specialist facilities that widen use or enhanced sporting facilities, which can be used by local people. Funding will also be used to create spaces that meet a specific need within the local community, such as learning new languages or vocational skills.
