Deputy Minister announces support for children and families in Wales

Voluntary organisations providing child and family services across Wales can now bid for funding under a renewed grant scheme, the Deputy Minister for Children and Social Services, Gwenda Thomas has announced.
Thursday 01 September 2011

The combined Children and Families Organisation Grant (CFOG) scheme will provide up to £4m funding to all-Wales voluntary sector organisations. The funding is being made available under a new two-year grant round from 2012-2014, which has opened for bids.

Gwenda Thomas said:

“The third sector needs to respond to the challenges we face in these times when we are all experiencing reduced budgets. The changes to Children and Families Organisation Grant funding requirements are aimed at ensuring that voluntary organisations support the Welsh Government’s priorities for social services and improving the lives of all children in Wales.

“We want to encourage innovative and collaborative ways of working that ensure resources are best employed and we think the changes we have made to this scheme will help voluntary sector organisations achieve this.”

Organisations who would like to consider applying for funding can find more information at the link to the right of this article.
