Covid-19: Community Resilience Development Framework

Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick Excerpts

Wednesday 9th December 2020 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)]

There are no plans to improve resources for the framework at the moment. The noble Baroness will understand that a lot of government money has gone into all of our communities through the pandemic, but we keep everything under review.

[Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick (Non-Afl) [V]]

My Lords, the Minister referred to gaining information from the best practice that has been deployed during the pandemic. Will she take on board the best practice in volunteering from the devolved Administrations as part of any review into the Community Resilience Development Framework?

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)]

I should say to the noble Baroness that we certainly will do that. In fact, I have here information that Monkstown Boxing Club in Northern Ireland has delivered a wide range of programmes to those young people who are the hardest to reach, aiming to help them through the difficult times due to the coronavirus.
