Duncan Lewis, Legal News Solicitors, Welsh Assembly announced £1 million of capital funding for Flying Start projects in Wales

The Welsh government has announced that more than £1 million has been allocated to 33 Flying Start projects across Wales, to help them improve their facilities.

Welsh Assembly Communities and Children Secretary Carl Sargeant announced the new funding on Thursday (20/04/17) – the funding for the 2017-2018 financial year will support a wide range of projects, from the full refurbishment of Flying Start buildings and the adaptation of empty premises, to providing more space for smaller projects, such as improving security and IT equipment.

Flying Start supports families living in some of the most disadvantaged communities across Wales – and offers 12.5 hours of high-quality childcare every week for two- to three-year-olds. The programme offers support for the development of children’s speech, language and communication, as well as parenting support and an enhanced health visitor service.

Announcing the funding, Carl Sargeant said:

“Giving children the best possible start in life is a top priority for the Welsh government.

“Flying Start is a key programme, aimed at helping to improve children’s life chances and reducing the need for interventions later on – it is one of a number of programmes that helps mitigate adverse childhood experiences, which can have a long-lasting impact on children and individuals throughout their lives.

“This is why we provide over £70 million a year in revenue funding to Local Authorities to deliver the scheme – and why I am announcing over £1 million of capital funding, to ensure that children have the best possible environment in which to play and learn.”
