In January 2014, Welsh Government published a refreshed Third Sector Scheme and Funding Code of Practice. Work has been undertaken by the Pembrokeshire Voluntary Sector Liaison Group to develop a Pembrokeshire Funding Code of Practice, based on the national model, which sets out the funding principles that Pembrokeshire County Council will use when funding third sector organisations, either through grants or contracts. The Funding Code of Practice is subject to a period of consultation prior to being finalised and adopted by the Local Authority.
