Villagers in Caersws will be celebrating the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with a street party, thanks to the National Lottery.

Caersws Recreation Ground will use their £5,595 grant to help the community celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee by holding a street party.

Trees will be planted to leave a legacy of this momentous occasion and commemorative gifts given to school age children.

The grant will cover costs including food and drink, trees, posters and flyers, bunting, flags and flagpoles, celebration activities and prizes, and footpath signs.  
  
Les George, Chair of Caersws Recreation Ground said: “The community of Caersws turned out to organise events to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations, working closely with Caersws Recreation Association.  

"Events have been organised over four days, focusing on the Main Street party on Sunday, 5th June. We are delighted with the help and support given to us by the National Lottery Community Fund which is much appreciated by the whole community.”

John Rose, Wales Director at The National Lottery Community Fund, said: “These celebrations provide opportunities for people to build stronger relationships within their communities and breath a new lease of life into public spaces that have not been used since the pandemic.

"The fund is dedicated to supporting projects that help communities to prosper and thrive. National Lottery players raise over £30 million each week for good causes."
