Wales REACH explores the stories and histories of Welsh communities through the creative arts. Thanks to funders, partners, contributors and participants.

Wales REACH is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to explore the stories and histories of Welsh communities through the creative arts. The National Lottery Heritage Fund is the largest funder for the UK’s heritage.
