1. How is the Welsh Government working with grass-roots sports clubs to help them connect with communities? OQ55542

We can't hear you, Deputy Minister. You need to unmute yourself, please.

Dafydd, can you hear me and can you hear that you need to—?

I was under the impression that it was being controlled centrally.

Carry on—we can hear you all right now.

Thank you. I'm very grateful, Jack, for your question. The Welsh Government and Sport Wales, we continue to work with partners to assist the grass-roots sports clubs. We recently announced a £14 million sport and leisure coronavirus recovery fund, and this is intended to support a range of sporting organisations.

Thank you for that answer, Deputy Minister. A constituent of mine, Simon Walker from Connah's Quay Bowling Club, has just been elected to the position of chairman of the BowlsWales development committee. As many will know, grass-roots bowls has huge benefits for people's mental and physical health. Simon tells me that it's the only sport you can play for the whole of your life—a nine-year-old can compete against a 90-year-old. Deputy Minister, would you be willing to meet with Simon on behalf of the development committee to hear first-hand the benefits that bowls can bring to communities and relay that information to Welsh Government colleagues?

I would be very happy to meet with your constituent. He might be able to encourage me to take up the sport. I have, in fact, visited a number of the disabled and other active bowlers' clubs. I remember, in particular, my visit to Pembrokeshire to visit the club there, and I think it's important that we encourage as much diversity and variety of physical activity so that people can participate, so I look forward to arranging a meeting as soon as we can.

The Deputy Presiding Officer (Ann Jones) took the Chair.

Thank you. Russell George. No. No Russell George. Okay.

Question 2, then, is going to be answered by the Deputy Minister for culture. Andrew R.T. Davies.
