QNR – in the Senedd on 1 March 2023.
Our third sector support Wales grant provides core funding to the Wales Council for Voluntary Action and county voluntary councils across Wales to provide a third sector support infrastructure. Organisations can access a range of support. This includes help with managing volunteers, improving governance and finding appropriate sources of funding.
I met with the Ofgem board on 8 February and expressed grave concerns surrounding the large volume of court warrants issued from magistrates’ courts, also seeking assurance Ofgem have sufficient powers to protect households. I am due to meet Ofgem again next month.
I am proud of the approach we have taken to providing sanctuary to so many people in Wales. Supporting move-on to longer term accommodation is a critical part of our humanitarian response. We have a package of measures in place to enable move-on and to support housing supply.
Commissioners are accounting officers responsible for managing their allocated funds. The commissioner’s statutory estimates and annual reports are scrutinised by Ministers and the Senedd and are subject to internal and external audit to ensure public funds are managed appropriately. Our memorandum of understanding underpins our regular engagement with the commissioner.
