Community fund launched by Pembrokeshire landfill operator
The Withyhedge landfill site operator, Resource Management Ltd (RML), has launched the fund to support groups and organisations in the area. RML's parent company is Dauson Environmental Group. This initiative forms part of RML's commitment to give back to the community, promising an annual fund of £20,000. Local groups and organisations can apply for up to £2,000 of this fund each year. In addition to this, the fund also welcomes applications for one-off projects or events of a larger nature. More Stories Ben Maizey, sustainability and future generations manager at Dauson Environmental Group, said: "Our RML Pembrokeshire Community Fund is something we have been planning since Dauson took over RML and the Withyhedge site in March 2022." "We want to continue to build local relationships and ensure we play our part in the community." Mr Maizey, who oversees the distribution of community support funds across the entire Dauson Environmental Group, will coordinate the distribution of the RML Pembrokeshire Community Fund. He said: "One of the questions we have been asked by community members and councillors is for more information about when this fund will be up and running. "We are therefore really excited about the launch our RML Pembrokeshire Community Fund as we take our next step in supporting our community and neighbours." In the lead-up to this launch, RML has been actively engaging with the community through visits and meetings. Their aim is to ensure this fund provides a helpful resource to meet community needs. As part of the fund launch, RML is inviting members of the community to apply to join the fund's advisory panel. This panel will play a crucial role in dictating how support is distributed. The fund's advisory panel will work alongside RML to develop the criteria used as a guide for allocating funding. Applications to join the advisory panel close at 4pm on Friday, June 27, 2025. Community members interested in joining the advisory panel can access application information by emailing withyhedge@ Further details about the window for fund applications are expected to be announced soon by RML.

Maizey, The Post's Pet of the Week, a shy girl that loves laps, toys and churu treats
This week's Pet of the Week is Maizey. Maizey is a 6-month-old kitten who has been at the shelter for about 50 days. This baby girl was really scared when she first came to the shelter after her previous owner could no longer care for her. She would hide and stay far away from staff trying to take care of her, but she's made incredible progress over time! For more information, her profile is here. Welcome to The Palm Beach Post's Pet of the Week, a series in which we feature animals up for adoption in Palm Beach County in hopes of finding them a loving family. Palm Beach County's animal shelter selects a pet of the week for this series that is safe, friendly and ready to become a companion. All animals are up-to-date on their vaccinations. Here's what to know about our pet of the week, including what Animal Care and Control staffers say about her personality. Age: 6 months Weight: 3 pounds, 2 ounces Sex: Female, spayed Animal ID: A2224048 More information: Maizey will jump on your lap if you pat your leg, she'll play with toys, and she absolutely LOVES churu treats! This pretty girl gets along well with the other cats in the free roam room. Maizey still gets frightened at sudden, quick movements so we think she'd be best with a family with kids over 13 years old. We're sure this baby will grow into an amazing companion! You can find Maizey's profile here! Leaders at Palm Beach County's animal shelter choose animals for The Post to feature in this series. They often select longer-term residents or animals who are not adjusting well to living in the shelter. Animals chosen are part of the shelter's "pet pal" program in which volunteers repeatedly evaluate the animal's temperament, safety and friendliness before deciding whether they're ready for immediate adoption, according to the shelter's website. Pets with illnesses or histories of aggression are not eligible for the "pet pal" program. Dogs with histories of biting humans or other animals are also not eligible. You can start the adoption process in person or online. To begin in person: Visit Animal Care and Control during normal business hours at 7100 Belvedere Road near West Palm Beach to fill out an application and meet the pets there. To begin the process online: Use the pet's animal ID number (like the one listed above) to search them on Animal Care and Control's online database. Click on the "Ready to Adopt? Click Here" link to the right of the pet's photo. Fill out the two-page downloadable adoption application and email it to Animal Care and Control at PSD-ACCSupport@ Once Animal Care and Control has reviewed your application, a team member will contact you to confirm that you have been approved to adopt. Submittal of an online application does not guarantee the pet's availability. Adoption fees: Adoption fees are waived in April. They are usually $60 for adult dogs, $75 for puppies and $50 for cats and kittens. Palm Beach County residents who are 55 years and older are offered a discounted adoption fee. Note: All animals adopted from Animal Care and Control will be spayed if female or neutered if male. They will be up-to-date on vaccinations, protected against fleas and ticks and microchipped. About fostering: If you are not ready for a long-term commitment, you may want to consider offering foster care to a pet. This is a great way to get the feel for becoming a pet parent, and it allows you and your new prospective pet to get to know each other. You can find more information about fostering on Animal Care and Control's website. Holly Baltz is an editor at The Palm Beach Post. She has a dog, Pippa, who is 9 years old.
