Supporting female entrepreneurs
Since the Pen y Cymoedd Wind Farm Community Fund launched in 2017, it has invested more than half a million pounds in championing new business ventures across the Welsh valleys - launched, owned and run by local women. This has helped to create new jobs, services, events, and products - providing a vital economic boost across the local communities.
