School essentials grant available for Welsh families
Labour Senedd Members Eluned Morgan and Joyce Watson are encouraging families in Mid and West Wales to check their eligibility for the Welsh Government's School Essentials Grant, which offers up to £200 per child. The grant supports low-income families with the cost of items such as uniforms, shoes, bags and school activities. Ms Morgan said: "As families continue to face cost of living pressures, it's great to know that help is at hand to ensure that every child has access to the uniforms, books and equipment they need to learn. "Welsh Labour will always prioritise helping those who need support." Since its introduction in 2018, the scheme has supported more than 170,000 families in the past two years alone. Ms Watson said: "This grant continues to be a vital source of support for families in Carmarthenshire and I would encourage everyone who may be eligible to check." Eligible families can receive £125 per child, or £200 for those entering year seven. All looked-after children qualify automatically. Schools also benefit from additional funding as a result of grant claims. Applications are now open and will close on May 31, 2026. Families can check their eligibility and apply by visiting the Welsh Government's website. Alternatively, they can contact Eluned Morgan on 0300 200 7264 or Joyce Watson on 0300 200 7093.

Owen Farrell in line for Lions return after first full training session
Farrell arrived Down Under on Friday as a replacement for broken arm victim Elliot Daly and was present as the Lions stepped up preparations for Wednesday's clash with the ACT Brumbies in Canberra. The 33-year-old is in line to make the first appearance of his fourth Lions tour against an AUNZ Invitational XV in Adelaide on Saturday. Owen Farrell warms up ahead of a Gallagher Premiership semi-final match in 2024 (Joe Giddens/PA) Head coach Andy Farrell confirmed on Monday that his son is in contention to play in the final fixture before the first Test against Australia on July 19, having completed all his return to play protocols for concussion. His last game was for Racing 92 against Lyon when he suffered a head injury, a further setback in a season that has been interrupted by groin surgery. He played only 17 games in the 2024-25 campaign. 'I wouldn't say he's over the jet lag just yet. I think he was up all night, but haven't we all been through that? But the rest is fine,' Andy Farrell said. Farrell's call-up is controversial given his last Test for England was almost two years ago and his only season at Racing 92 was underwhelming to the point he has agreed an immediate return to Saracens. However, the management regards his experience and leadership as valuable assets, not least because he is the only player in the squad who was present for the last triumphant Lions tour, also to Australia in 2013. Johnny Sexton, the former Ireland fly-half who is the Lions' kicking coach Down Under, insists Farrell has fitted in seamlessly with the tourists. 'As you'd expect with someone with that experience, he's fitted in. He's hit the ground running, so it's great to see,' Sexton said after Tuesday's training session. 'He must have had the playbook on the plane on the way over because he came in and he's not missed a beat. 'He's been on top of things in training and that's exactly why you pick someone with experience who knows about a Lions tour because it might take someone else 10 days to fit in.'
