23 Sept 2026Voluntary-sector funding and tendering may undermine service deliveryConcern

“[Speaker: Elfed Williams] I was running an advocacy service for over 12 years. In that period, I went through three tender processes. There was no increase in any one of those tender processes in terms of the funding that we received. We always had to try—in order to increase salaries and so on, one had to seek cuts to other costs. In the end, it got to the point where it was very hard to find those further cuts.”
