As I said in my earlier response to David Melding’s question, on 6 April I outlined the Welsh Government’s £24 million package of support for Wales’s voluntary sector in response to the coronavirus pandemic. This funding includes both direct support for the sector’s response and support for individual organisations.

We work closely with our partners, including local government, police and HMPPS to ensure our communities are safe. We have worked collaboratively to ensure there is a robust joint response to both protect people from coronavirus and keep communities safe during these unprecedented times.

(Translated)

The voluntary sector in Wales has been crucial to our efforts in fighting the pandemic. Delivering key services, co-ordinating local support and helping to guide our dedicated and compassionate army of volunteers. I’d like to say a huge 'thank you' to all our volunteers and voluntary sector organisations.
