Okay, thank you. Can I just say that I meet with north Wales RSLs as well and they raise this with me as well? So, I just wanted to say that on record. And I understand there's so much being done as well, but I wanted you to be able to explain, because you're…

Yes, Cymorth, which was mentioned in the news; at the housing cross-party group, it was Crisis that was speaking about it.

Thanks, Chair. Hello, Minister. How confident are you that these proposals can be adequately funded and sourced given the importance of housing support services? I've heard from the cross-party group on housing—it was in the news last night— Crisis were…

Dadl ar Adroddiad Pwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig, 'Cyllid datblygu rhanbarthol ar ôl gadael yr UE'
Hoffwn innau hefyd ddiolch i Bwyllgor yr Economi, Masnach a Materion Gwledig am adroddiad rhagorol. Roedd Cymru yn fuddiolwr net o gyllid yr UE, amcangyfrif o £79 y pen. Wrth gwrs, nid oedd pob budd yn ariannol. Roedd yna symud dilyffethair a llai o…

Great. Thank you. And can I just ask how has Sport Wales changed in how it works with sport governing bodies in the wake of the allegations against the WRU earlier this year?

And there's also the Welsh baccalaureate as well as the DofE. But, like you said, I think it's confidence in those young people for them to do it. I've had the same conversations as well, trying to join people up, but it's giving them that confidence. Right…

I know from experience that we get people who will volunteer through Duke of Edinburgh's Award schemes—young people—and that seems to work very well, but then they may go off to university. I'm just thinking about, in their spare time, trying to capture those…

Safeguarding. There are all these modern things now, which they see as barriers, which are important. So, are there templates available for people to help them with that, to overcome those sorts of barriers and encourage them to volunteer again?

Okay. And lastly, just regarding reserves, just if you could expand on the amount of reserves you have. Previously it was said it was prudent to maintain 5 per cent of the annual budget, but current reserves, as of March 2023, stood at £165,000, which isn't…
