Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids' Clubs, a Welsh Assembly-funded organisation that has helped develop more than 1,166 out-of-school clubs, was told last week that its funding for 2005-2006 would be cut by 35 per cent.
Although this is a temporary reprieve from the proposed 60 per cent decrease announced last December, the organisation has been told that funds for 2006-2007 will be cut by 60 per cent, and that it will need to make plans for a 'reduced level of support from the Assembly'.
Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids' Clubs will now receive 740,000 for 2005-2006, instead of the 1m annual grant that it had from 2001 to 2005. Two of its five regional offices, in Powys and Haverfordwest, are due to close.
