Publicity Protocol for Grant Recipients

Purpose

We ask that all grant recipients acknowledge the funding support publicly. This helps raise awareness of how public investment through the Mid Wales Growth Deal is backing business and building our regional economy.

If you're planning any publicity (like press releases, media posts, or announcements), just drop us a quick email at growingmidwales@ceredigion.gov.uk beforehand so we can help make sure everything's aligned with the Growth Deal communications approach.

Here's some points to consider:

What You Need to Do

General Materials (e.g. website, leaflets, signage)

Include the Growing Mid Wales, UK Government and Welsh Government logos (provided upon grant award), and this statement (in Welsh and English):
"This project is [funded/part-funded] through the Mid Wales Commercial Property Investment Fund, delivered by the Mid Wales Growth Deal as part of Growing Mid Wales."

Online/Social Media

If posting about the project:
• Tag @GrowingMidWales on LinkedIn or X
• Use hashtags: #MidWalesGrowthDeal #BargenTwfCanolbarthCymru

Plaques and Signs

For infrastructure projects, install a permanent plaque within 3 months of completion (min. size 250mm x 200mm), with the logo and funding statement.

If creating a press release

Contact us first. We may need to coordinate with UK and Welsh Governments.
Email: growingmidwales@ceredigion.gov.uk

Events (if public-facing)

If holding an event relating to the project, use the logos and statement on invites and banners, and let us know.

Video or visual content

Add the logos for 3 seconds at the end and include bilingual subtitles where possible.

Branding Guidelines

• Use the official Growing Mid Wales, UK Government and Welsh Government logos (provided upon grant award).
• Keep it clear, undistorted, and equally balanced with UKG and WG logos.
• Don't crop or stretch logos.
• Place clearly on any public-facing materials.

Language & Accessibility

All publicity must be bilingual (Welsh and English). Translation costs can be included in your grant budget.
