Well, the intention is, of course, that it’s all-age. I think the question here is making sure that we work with those people who want to come back to work. Some might be retired. They may feel that they are financially comfortable. And, of course, for many people who are retired, they are the basis for the volunteers that we have across Wales. One of the issues that we face as a society, I believe, as people work longer, is the prospect that there will be fewer volunteers in the future because people have less time on their hands. But, nevertheless, the whole point of the all-age scheme is to make sure that it is just that: all-age.
