A WELFARE centre in Wrexham is to receive just under £100,000 of funding over the next three years.
The Miners Welfare Centre at Llay will receive £97,113 to make it a 'one stop shop' resource for the local community.
Welsh Assembly Government Social Justice and Regeneration Minister Edwina Hart gave the go-ahead as part of the latest round of applications under the Assembly Government's Community Facilities and Activities Programme.
The scheme offers grant support to voluntary and community groups and aims to improve facilities and activities for people of all ages and abilities.
Mrs Hart said: 'We have a rich heritage of community buildings and local facilities all over Wales which have helped us build strong and active communities. However, so many are in desperate need of refurbishment.
'I know there are small groups throughout Wales which work incredibly hard, usually unpaid - and these are a vital ingredient to the community spirit.'
