Grand Week in Wales 2022

Event dates: Tuesday 22nd February – Tuesday 1st March

Our Grand Week in Wales is an event to help key charities that support the most vulnerable in our communities across Wales and to bring people together through fundraising events, to combat isolation and spread positivity in a time when we need it most.

The name given is in recognition of Wales’ 1,000-mile circumference, and the event delivers a variety of community challenges based around the theme of 1000, all in the lead up to St David’s Day 2022 (Monday 1st March).

We are encouraging everyone, of all ages and abilities, to join in our grand Welsh activities throughout the month of February. We have set a number of challenges based around the number 1000 that you can participate in, at home, school, or on your daily exercise routine, all with COVID safety and regulations in mind. We also welcome you to come up with your own challenges on this theme to help our community and fundraise.

All monies raised for A Grand Week in Wales is distributed in the following way; 20% to Nanny Biscuit to combat food poverty, isolation and loneliness, with the remainder evenly distributed between our brilliant national partner organisations;

Green Paw Project – Tree planting and land regeneration

CAFgas CIC - Free boiler repairs for people living in fuel poverty
