We’re proud to announce the launch of Mentrus – an exciting new partnership between Menter Dinefwr, PLANED, and 4CG 
Together, we’re here to support communities in Mid and West Wales by offering sustainable and innovative solutions, and support built on years of experience, local knowledge, and shared values.
What Makes MENTRUS Different?
Unlike national organisations that may be far removed from the realities of everyday life in rural communities, MENTRUS is rooted in the heart of West Wales. This proximity gives us a distinct advantage: we understand the nuances, needs, and aspirations of our communities. Our commitment to place-based support means that we’re not just here to deliver services; we’re here to empower, uplift, and provide sustainable, long-term solutions that resonate with the local culture and way of life.
Our Focus Areas: Strengthening Communities, Building a Brighter Future
MENTRUS is committed to delivering tangible results in three key areas that matter most to the people of West Wales:
- Community Assets: We believe in the strength of local assets, whether it’s community spaces, skills, or networks. By supporting and empowering communities to harness their own resources, we can create sustainable solutions that are owned and driven by the people who benefit most.
- Economy & Social Enterprise: Thriving local economies are essential to the well-being of our communities. Through social enterprises and locally-driven economic initiatives, we aim to foster growth, create jobs, and strengthen the economic resilience of the region.
- Local Affordable Housing: Housing is a fundamental need that impacts everyone, and in West Wales, affordable housing is often in short supply. MENTRUS is dedicated to addressing this challenge by supporting the development of affordable housing solutions that are both practical and sustainable for local communities.
