The cost-of-living crisis is affecting people across Wales, including in the Rhondda. The surge in inflation combined with higher taxes will result in real living standards decreasing and put significant pressure on households. We are doing all we can, with the powers we have, to deliver support to the most vulnerable.

Sport should be a place where everyone can be themselves, where everyone can take part and where everyone is treated with kindness, dignity and respect. The five UK sports councils worked together to develop guidance that was published in September 2021 to support the inclusion of transgender people in sport.
