Enjoy the read! Sue Leonard ­ Chief Officer STOP PRESS: LAUNCH OF ENGAGEMENT GATEWAY SCHEME PAVS is pleased to announce the recent launch of the Engagement Gateway scheme, which offers opportunities to fund volunteer initiatives that provide targeted support to help people into employment. The Gateway Scheme is managed by Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) and is funded under the European Union’s Convergence Programme. The aim of the scheme is to reduce economic inactivity in Wales and improve the employability of disadvantaged people furthest from the labour market. The Gateway will invest in organisations that work with people who may be out of touch with mainstream services, or at high risk of long term benefit dependency. These groups will include people facing specific disadvantage including people with a work limiting health condition or disability; mental health service users; people over 50 years of age and young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs). The Gateway offers contracts for up to two years, and any organisation will be able to tender for contracts through a procurement process. There are three levels of contracts: • Level 1: up to £25,000 (no match funding required) • Level 2: £25,000 ­ £75,000 (match funding required) • Level 3: £75,000 ­ £150,000 (match funding required) PAVS is currently working with WCVA to organise a workshop on the tender process for organisations who may be interested in bidding and further details will be published shortly. In the meantime, please register your interest in attending with Caroline Graham at PAVS. www.pavs.org.uk ‐ 2 ‐ Partnership Working The third sector meets Ministers for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills Representatives of third sector organisations had three items on the agenda to discuss with Jane Hutt AM, Minister for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills (CELLS), and John Griffiths AM, Deputy Minister for Skills, at their autumn 2008 meeting – the future planning and funding of non­formal learning, the opportunities offered by Olympics 2012 for increasing physical activity in Wales, and the 2009­10 budget. The third sector presented a paper on non­formal learning outlining the contribution of third sector organisations to this field and expressing concern about the emphasis put on skills, rather than learning, in the new proposals for Adult and Community Learning (ACL). The Deputy Minister stressed that in the current economic climate budgetary constraints would place limits on Assembly Government spending. The new ACL strategy aimed to produce a more rational policy framework by identifying duplication and creating added value. He stressed that the voluntary sector was an important partner in achieving these aims and said that WAG would make a detailed response to the points raised in the paper. Third sector representatives then presented a paper on how the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics can be used to encourage an increase in physical activity, particularly in educational and young people’s organisations. The Minister agreed that these provided an excellent opportunity and explained that her department was already looking at this. She suggested that the third sector representatives liaise with her officials. Finally, the Minister was asked to introduce her priorities for 2009­10, the budget, and its implications for third sector organisations. She said that the budget would be tight and given the current economic context, the Chancellor’s Pre­Budget Statement would impact on the Assembly Government’s spending. The Minister’s main priority was the Foundation Phase and extra funding had been secured from the reserves to support it. All Ministers were examining their policy priorities but the DCELLS budget had increased by 5.5% while other Departments had seen a 3.4% increase. Money for disabled children was another Ministerial priority and additional funds had been allocated to disabled children programmes. The Minister also highlighted the innovative work that was taking place within DCELLS to identify children’s budgets, across all WAG departments. Third sector representatives asked that the Minister should also look at how budget allocations took account of the consequences of spending in one area on that of another area; what might be called ‘lateral budgeting’ e.g. tackling child poverty by providing parents with adult learning opportunities. You can find copies of the all papers and minutes of ministerial meetings at www.wcva.org.uk/policy Third sector meets Minister for Social Justice The second 2008 meeting between the third sector and the Minister for Social Justice and Local Government, Dr Brian Gibbons AM, took place on 5 November 2008 at the old Assembly building in Cardiff Bay, with the Deputy Minister for Regeneration, Leighton Andrews AM, also in attendance.

At least four significant or potentially significant archaeological sites were identified within the area of the proposed development. These include the site of the medieval settlement of Newton, the site of the possible medieval mansion of Newton, the site of a post-medieval ‘model’ farmstead and the possible site of a Bronze Age barrow or medieval castle mound. The later site is suggested by the field name of ‘Mount Meadow’ and aerial photographs appear to indicate the presence of a large circular feature at the eastern end of this field. Other identified sites included a circular building of post-medieval date and a mine watcher’s post dating to the Second World War. In addition there are the sites of two possible wells along with field boundaries and a trackway. All of these features are of post-medieval date, although some could have earlier origins.
