Inquiry into community assets: evidence session 1
Can I just ask one more question? So, sustainability going forward: how important do you believe a small bit of revenue funding, seed funding is? Because very often, they're not just for profit if they're community as well. That social value again would be…

Inquiry into community assets: evidence session 1

You need the immersion. I think that’s going to be an issue, getting over that confidence issue, and carrying it on into adult life.

Inquiry on Welsh in Education Strategic Plans
—which is on categorisation? For example, in north Wales, in north-west Wales, because you're immersed in the Welsh language and it's all around you, it's so much easier to learn outside of school and to pick it up and have confidence to speak it, whereas, in…
