The Supporting Communities BEL supports the co-ordination of cross-government activity and enables strong collaboration at the regional and local level to address the root causes of poverty.
One of the Welsh Labour Government’s priorities is to support the poorest in our communities through our Fuel Voucher Scheme, Local Food Partnerships, Emergency Food Aid and Warm hubs funding. Our funding will also support the implementation of the Child Poverty Strategy.
