Lesley Griffiths AM, has congratulated Town Hill Post Office, Wrexham on its successful application to the Post Office Diversification Fund.
The Post Office is one of 75 across Wales to be awarded part of approved grants of £1.55m over two financial years to help sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses diversify and improve their facility.
The fund aims to help with business and marketing advice, advertising, training and some set-up costs for new services.
Funding can also be applied for improvements such as creating better access to buildings, upgrading computer equipment, improving security or providing better signs for the outside of premises.
Commenting on the success, Lesley Griffiths AM said:
“I am delighted that Town Hill Post Office is to benefit from this fund. Post Offices are at the heart of the community and are often a lifeline for vulnerable people.
“This money will help us to keep Post Offices open by ensuring that subpostmasters and subpostmistresses have sustainable and viable businesses, and I am delighted that so many Post Offices in Wales have been able to take advantage of the fund.”
