The Chief Executive of the charity regulator has today [3 September 2025] visited two Cardiff-based charities.

His first visit was to LATCH, a children’s cancer charity, supporting children, young people and their families, who are under the care of the Paediatric Oncology Principal Treatment Centre at the Children’s Hospital for Wales.

The CEO’s visit coincides with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month which takes place every September and aims to generate awareness and support for children affected by cancer.

His second visit was to the charity Daring to Dream, which supports and promotes the emotional health and well-being of adult hospital patients in Wales.  

Daring to Dream is one of many recipients to obtain funds through the regulator’s Revitalising Trusts Wales programme. The programme, which identifies dormant funds and helps to redirect these to similar causes, either directly or in partnership with Community Foundation Wales, has supported the charity to develop a greater online presence. The charity has used funds to create professional digital content for its website and social media, boosting its reach to more beneficiaries and supporters.

Today’s visits come as the programme reaches £12,300,545 revitalised in Wales alone, contributing to good causes, community foundations and charities across Wales.
