Community groups
It is important that people feel ownership for their communities, and therefore part of the job that I love most as an AM is visiting community groups and organisations who carry out so much positive work in their areas. I have appointed a community development officer, Gareth Thomas as part of my staff team, and his role is to make links with such organisations so that I can get involved in their work across the region, and so that I can assist with funding applications and so on.
Plaid Cymru recently responded to the Communities First consultation, and you can take a look at it here (PDF).
If you are involved in a group or charity in the South Wales West region, and would like me to visit or shadow a worker, then please get in touch.
