An organisation that provides opportunities to enrich and develop the lives of those who are less fortunate than ourselves, through no fault of their own, and which provides a wholistic form of therapy through art and music, must be nurtured and encouraged to expand to reach it's full potential! Money must be spent on meaningful charities who've proved their worth over time.

Rather than being seen as a (growing and strengthening) resource to be cut - Celf could and should be invested in and developed as a sectoral leader in its field for the whole of Wales and even beyond. It offers a transferable model that would be the envy of many counties at the same time as being an inspiration to them.

Celf co-ordinated a project called 'Talking to the Past' on the Kerry Ridgeway involving local artists and local adults with learning difficulties.Willow figures of sheep, geese and a drover were constructed at Block Wood, highlighting the droving history of the ridgeway. All parties got a lot from the project. Celf's role is invaluable in enabling such projects to succeed.

The grant cut suggests that ACW does not genuinely appreciate the value of CoG's work and I wonder if ACW's action could be characterised as a form of Disabilty Discrimination.
