The National Assembly for Wales’ Voluntary Sector Scheme makes provision for twice yearly meetings between representatives of the third sector and each of the Cabinet Ministers. The current Minister for Heritage is Alun Ffred Jones A.M.

Ministerial meetings take place in the spring and autumn of each year. Items can be put forward by the third sector and the Assembly provided that they fall within the ministerial brief and that they address broad third sector issues - it is only possible to discuss issues relating to single organisations in this context if it has the  endorsement of the planning group. There is provision to discuss issues arising from the budget planning round at one of the meetings every year.  

You can view minutes of the most recent meetings on this website or at www.wales.gov.uk.

A third sector planning group meets in advance of each ministerial meeting to review progress from the previous meeting, to agree items to be put forward for the agenda and to prepare supporting papers.  Membership of the planning group is agreed by the Third Sector Partnership Council and includes those third sector networks related to the ministerial brief.

Support to the planning group and for the ministerial meeting is provided by Bethan Lewis, Policy Officer, WCVA.  You can contact her at the Cardiff Office on 02920 431746 or by email:  blewis@wcva.org.uk
