More than £10 million in funding will support organisations delivering essential social care services across Wales.

The investment for 2026-27 will help the wide range of people and families who rely on vital support services every day.

Services to benefit from the funding include ChildLine Cymru to keep its free 24-hour helpline open, while in rural Powys, older farmers will receive support to stay safe and independent in their own homes through a special project run by Care & Repair Powys and Age Cymru Powys.

Minister for Children and Social Care, Dawn Bowden said: "Every day, third sector organisations across Wales provide a lifeline to people who need support.

“This £10 million investment means these vital services can continue helping people in our communities.
