“A lot of what I have achieved is down to The National Lottery supporting me as an athlete. The funding allowed me to focus on what I love doing and to reach my full potential.” 🥊 “Mae llawer o’r hyn rydw i wedi’i gyflawni oherwydd bod y Loteri Genedlaethol wedi fy nghefnogi i fel athletwr. Fe alluogodd y cyllid i mi ganolbwyntio ar yr hyn rydw i wrth fy modd yn ei wneud ac i gyrraedd fy llawn botensial.” 🥊 Before turning professional, National Lottery was in the corner of Lauren Price. A Game Changer in her own right, Lauren one of the first women to ever win a Commonwealth Games boxing medal and went on to become European Champion, World Champion and, in 2021, Olympic Champion. 🙌 Cyn troi'n broffesiynol, roedd y Loteri Genedlaethol yng nghornel Lauren Price. Yn Newidiwr Gêm yn ei rhinwedd ei hun, Lauren yw un o’r merched cyntaf erioed i ennill medal bocsio yng Ngemau’r Gymanwlad ac aeth ymlaen i ddod yn Bencampwraig Ewropeaidd, Pencampwraig y Byd ac, yn 2021, yn Bencampwraig Olympaidd. 🙌 Take a look at 30 amazing ways the National Lottery has shaped sport across Wales. 👇 #NationalLottery30  Edrychwch ar 30 o ffyrdd anhygoel y mae'r Loteri Genedlaethol wedi llunio chwaraeon ledled Cymru. 👇 #LoteriGenedlaethol30 https://lnkd.in/eNU3svjU Cymraeg: https://lnkd.in/eMgjpqPp

Today Sport Wales has opened a brand-new Storm Damage Fund, thanks to additional funding we have secured from the Welsh Government. The investment team at Sport Wales are constantly working at capacity managing the Be Active Wales Fund, the Energy Savings Grants, our Partner Capital Funding stream and the A Place for Sport Fund with Crowdfunder. Despite this, when we decided to respond to the challenge the sector is facing due to the past few weekends of poor weather, they immediately operationalised this fund, getting it from concept to live in a matter of days. Huge credit also to the communications team who have equally had to be incredibly reactive to an unplanned crisis. Naturally, our challenge of having to get this fund open, and secure the funding for it, is nothing compared to the challenge of those dealing with the impact of the storms. We cannot continually have these types of funds, as the funding simply won’t be there indefinitely, and the issues of climate change are only going to prove more dramatic and impactful. That wider concern needs to be factored in. Still, it is really positive that we have once again been able to provide some relief to those crucial local community clubs who give so much in terms of volunteering and creating sporting opportunities. If you know any clubs impacted by the storms, please do signpost them to this short-term application window. It opened today and will shut next Tuesday at 4pm. All details can be found here 👇🏻
