Impressive to visit the Faith in Families Cwtch Mawr Multibank in Swansea – part of a network of multibanks set up by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown to alleviate hardship as families struggle to cope with the cost of living.
I’m keen to see the services of this Multibank expanded here to Llanelli and the rest of Carmarthenshire where it would provide back-up to existing groups and foodbanks who deal with families in need and who would be able to call on the Multibank to provide additional items that they are short of.
I am pleased Carmarthenshire County Council accepted a proposal by Councillor Martyn Palfreman to support its expansion into Carmarthenshire and I’ll be working with councillors and others to make sure this happens.
