Can I ask for a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children on the support for a project that previously benefited from the Communities First programme? The Dowlais Engine House is a project open to children and young people of all abilities and provides an inclusive range of sporting activities, dance and drama, reading and homework clubs, and encourages healthy lifestyles. The project supports young people needing to gain independence, confidence and life skills in their deprived communities, but they’re very concerned that it could come to an end, due to the end of the Communities First programme. When will the Welsh Government be in a position to reassure groups such as the Dowlais Engine House that they will continue to get funding from this Government in the future in Wales? Thank you.
