Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 15 March 2017.
Thank you very much for that response, Cabinet Secretary. Over the past few weeks, people from across Swansea have been in touch with concerns about the future of the Swansea Community Farm, which has done excellent work over a period of more than 20 years in providing learning opportunities for people of all ages. Unfortunately, it is now facing closure at the end of this month unless they can raise £50,000 to keep the farm open. Will you work with other members of your Government and Swansea council to try and safeguard the future of this important asset in the short term, whilst they look at alternative methods of fundraising in the longer term?
