Staff and volunteers from Bridgend, Neath Port Talbot, Pontypridd and Abergavenny supported Elizabeth Coe (NACCC CEO) and Pauline Lowe, Network Manager (Wales) at a lunch-time event in the Welsh Assembly Senedd building late last year. This was sponsored by David Melding (AM) and enabled us to lobby a significant number of Assembly Members and others to tell them about the work of child contact centres and to explain our need for funding.
Photos shows Elizabeth Coe (NACCC CEO), Andrea Thomas and Jan Williams (The Contact Zone, Bridgend) alongside the NACCC banner and PowerPoint presentation, presented in both languages.
Following the event and support from some AMs there has been an increase in the grant funding for Welsh Contact Centres for 2016-17.
