Cabinet Secretary, I don’t know whether you’ve heard of an organisation called Faith in Families. They’re a local Swansea-based organisation—

You need to ask the question on the order paper.

I’m very sorry.

7. Will the Cabinet Secretary provide details of the transitional arrangements for Communities First? OAQ(5)0156(CC)

Lead delivery bodies have developed detailed transition plans.

Thank you very much. I’ll go back to Faith in Families. It’s an organisation based in Swansea that concentrates on early intervention with families that are vulnerable. Thanks to Communities First, actually, they’ve been able to redevelop three of their family centres. Since the announcement that Communities First is going, they’re in very uncertain circumstances, shall I say, because they’re not aware of the announcement that you made recently regarding the transitional period between Communities First and whatever’s following. As this is one example, I’m wondering if you’re able to say how far the message has got with those who’ve already received Communities First funding in the past about your current proposals. I’m just thinking that if it’s happening to Faith in Families, it may be happening to other organisations.

Well, I’m very surprised by the Member’s question in detail, because Faith in Families have been running a media campaign since October announcing—warning—that they’ll have to make staff redundancies and close the new community hub in St Teilo’s once their Communities First funding ends. So, I’m really surprised that they’re telling you that they don’t know about transition funding, because they’re on the money in terms of making sure that I’m aware, and other social media outlets are too. I am aware of Swansea’s local delivery board detailed transition plans, and Faith in Families, I understand, will receive funding—full funding—until March of 2018.
