Public services like the NHS face 'perfect storm of financial pressures', Welsh Labour ministers say.
The Welsh government sets funding for the health service and for councils, who in turn fund social care, schools and refuse collections.
Katie Dalton, director of Cymorth Cymru, which represents housing charities and providers, says: "A cash flat budget is a real terms cut, and there is a risk that service delivery becomes unaffordable with the impact of inflation and high energy costs." However it said it would put an extra £18.8m in its discretionary assistance fund, which provides help for people who find themselves in financial hardship.The Welsh government confirmed it will not use its income tax powers in Tuesday's budget.
Lorna, a sixth form pupil at Y Pant School in Pontyclun, says the heating is not on as much as it used to be at home.
