The WWNC is almost exclusively funded from the public purse. Their accounts ending 31 March 2009 show that of a total income of £107,324 (page 6)in the year £101,297 (page 9)came from the Welsh Government. Page 3 of their end of year report describes their Objectives and Activities as
The objectives of the charity are to make an impact on policies that affect women by listening to women, both in their organisations and individually through involvement with the Welsh Assembly Government and its policy formationThe BBC reports (complete with multiple grammatical errors) that the WWNC is an umbrella organisation that represents the interests of 50 other similar women's groups in Wales groups which have applied for, and received, a share of the fund that was allocated for special interest groups.
Stripping away an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy? Works for me.

Glorious. I have linked to this.
Let's hope this is the first of many, many more. There's 13 years of gravy train to be dismantled.
An organisation that represents other organisations got government money to do so?
What's the betting all the 'other organisations' got government money too. And anyway, they should be able to represent themselves.
But what will the poor BBC do with no experts to invite onto their propaganda talk shows?
Oh, I don't think the BBC is going to run short of talking heads just yet...
Anonymous - as far as I can work out it was a bit of a catfight over funding allocation. The details of the awards granted are here and plenty of groups that support women have received cash this year and for the next two years.
I can only assume that, given the WWNC's almost total reliance on public money, the people of Wales weren't moved enough to donate to their cause.
Hard shit for the Taffy Tartlettes.
They'lle have to do without the dildos and try the leeks for size.

One down, thousands of other fake charities still on the taxpayers' teat.
Take an axe to them all. Starting with the lobby groups who campaign against axes.
Good. I'm glad.
Let's have a lot more of it please. A lot more. Take a (metaphorical) samurai sword to the lot of them.
A great start. :-)
One wonders what all these welsh women talked about. Why their husbands prefer sheep and how to get a bigger grant from the English taxpayers perhaps.
