This paper sets out the Welsh Football Trust’s (WFT) evidence for the Committee’s inquiry into the Welsh Premier League (WPL). It explains the role of the WFT, the extent of its interaction and support for the WPL and provides information for each area of the inquiry’s terms of reference. Background 2. The WFT was formed by the Football Association of Wales (FAW) in 1996 to ring fence funding for grass roots football development. It is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. The Board of Trustees is comprised of 14 members. Seven Trustees are nominated by the FAW and seven are independently recruited through open advertisement. The WFT is the governing body’s agent for increasing participation, delivering training to coaches and volunteers and identifying and developing talented young players to support the future success of national teams. 3. The WFT has no involvement in the governance and administration of the WPL. Its main interactions are with the clubs, providing:- training and mentoring to WPL coaches and managers; support for coaching and the improvement of in standards at WPL Academies; support for club development projects via our network of Football Development Officers. In 2008 the FAW and WFT formed a sister organisation, Welsh Grounds Improvements, which distributes FAW monies as grant aid to WPL and feeder league clubs for grounds infrastructure projects.

Community Planning (Jackie Dix, Alison Palmer & Howard Rees) [email protected] Well-being of Future Generations (Wales Bill) The Well-being Bill was laid before the National Assembly for Wales on 7th July 2014, and is intended to make public bodies look at what they do in the long term as part of their decision making processes. The bill introduces a local well-being plan (replacing existing community planning Single Integrated Plans) to be produced by Public Service Boards (replacing the current Local Service Boards), which will now be statutory requirements. Key to the Bill is an understanding of what people want. The Bill will establish an independent statutory Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, who will produce a report in relation to the better safeguarding of future generations’ needs, informed by engaging citizens through periodic conversations. The Bill is intended to change the law to provide stronger governance for achieving a prosperous, resilient, healthier, more equal Wales. The Act sets out 6 well-being goals against which all public bodies must set and publish well-being objectives that are designed to maximise its contribution to the achievement of these well-being goals: 1.

    Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee CELG(4)-24-13 Paper 3 Inquiry into participation levels in sport in Wales Response from : Football Association of Wales and the Welsh Football Trust Section 1: Background 1 The Football Association of Wales is the third oldest association in the world, having come into existence in 1876. The FAW has governed football in Wales continually since that date. The FAW is a member of FIFA and UEFA and is one of the five associations that make up the International Football Association Board, the guardians of the ‘Laws of the Game.’ 2 The Welsh Football Trust (WFT) was founded by the FAW in 1996 and its objective includes: (1) encouraging more people to play football; (2) identifying and developing talented young players to support the future success of Wales’ national teams in all age groups; and (3) developing more and better qualified coaches. 3 Participation, and more specifically increasing levels of physical activity in football, is a focus for the FAW and WFT. Section 2: The extent to which the Welsh Government and Sport Wales are achieving the goals set out in the Programme for Government, the Creating an Active Wales action plan and the Vision for Sport in Wales with regard to participation levels in sport. 4 Whilst realising our contribution to widen participation in football and increasing the number of sport coaches and elite athletes in Wales, the FAW and WFT do not have any hard evidence to comment on whether the Welsh Government and Sport Wales are achieving the goals set out in the aforementioned documents.
