 As we mark International Volunteer Day, I would like to thank each and every one of the fantastic volunteers here in Wales for the work they do every single day. This year our volunteers and the communities they serve have faced incredibly difficult challenges. The pandemic has left so many people feeling lonely and isolated. Welsh volunteers have acted as a beacon of light and hope for communities right across Wales, playing a crucial role in our response to Covid-19. Every day they have been out there on the front line, giving their time to support almost vulnerable people. We've also seen an increase in the number of volunteers here in Wales. All over the country, neighbours have come together to buy shopping for those who were shielding, people who have taken time out of their day to call someone who is isolated simply to check that they were OK, and groups using their creative skills to make PPE and other vital equipment for others to use. So many have contributed in some way to the tremendous effort of keeping Wales safe. And it's important to note that the work of our volunteers throughout this crisis goes deeper than just giving their time to help others. Their commitment has brought communities closer together and strengthened the relationship between communities and public sector bodies. That's why I'm proud that we have been able to award over £4 million to help provide resources to sustain volunteering and community action as we recover from the pandemic. This money will also be used to help developing our volunteer infrastructure to ensure a more sustainable model of volunteering for the future. Communities all over Wales have benefited from the incredible work of our volunteers here in Wales. Their selfless dedication is something of which we can all be proud. Diolch yn fawr i chi gyd.
