A Welsh member spoke about YMCA in Parliament


On Tuesday in the Welsh Parliament that is called Senedd set out a session entitled Business Statement and Announcement. One of the people who corresponded on it is the Labour member who is Hefin David who is from Caerphilly and he referred to the Aber Valley YMCA based in the South East area of Wales. Here is his document which can be seen here along with the other comments.

I would welcome an oral or a written update from the Minister for Climate Change with regard to the incoming changes to commercial recycling regulations. Now that the date of implementation of 6 April is rapidly approaching, charities, in particular, are contacting my office to ask what support—financial or otherwise—will be provided to help them adapt, including the cost of multiple new bins and creating the space to store recycling waste. Aber Valley YMCA in Abertridwr, for example, which is entirely a social enterprise, and Tŷ Hafan, who have a shop in Caerphilly, have both contacted me about this, and I visited both premises. Caerphilly County Borough Council have also expressed their concerns about the possibly inadvertent effects these changes may have on small businesses and volunteer-led organisations. Therefore, can I ask for that update on what support might be provided for those kinds of organisations?
