Part of Questions to the Deputy Minister and Chief Whip – in the Senedd at 2:47 pm on 3 March 2020.
Well, I hope you will be joining us on these benches to give support to the final budget this afternoon, which actually does include, I think, over £6 million to the final budget approval. In terms of the Volunteering Wales grant, £1.3 million is allocated to be administered by the Wales Council for Voluntary Action.
I mentioned earlier on the code of practice funding for the third sector that forms part of the third sector scheme. I look forward to supporting the Welsh Government this afternoon, in terms of the budget, which has a priority on social justice, housing need and sustaining the services that are so important to people, which includes volunteering. But I have to say, we would be in a much better place if we hadn't suffered the 10 years of austerity as a result of the UK Conservative Government.
