Part of 2. 2. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children – in the Senedd at 2:53 pm on 12 October 2016.
Thank you for that answer, Cabinet Secretary. Again, the voluntary sector and the volunteers are crucial. In my constituency, volunteers work in community libraries, community centres and support services across the town and constituency to ensure that some of those services remain within those communities. Those individual volunteers are crucial to the work of that sector, and some of the people are doing the same jobs on many occasions. What’s the Welsh Government doing to actually encourage more volunteers to come forward, to ensure we spread that workload, to get more involved in the communities and ensure that those services can continue, because we’re burning out the people who are doing it now?
