Llanrumney residents were struggling as they lost most of their community hubs and high school over the years.

So Llanrumney Community Sports Trust was founded to provide and protect community sports, and give the community facilities and space to thrive.

The building had issues with the electrical supply, and Steve, Chair of Trustees, applied to the Sport Wales Energy Saving Grant for solar panels and battery storage, and the rest is history. ⚡

Allowing the Trust to reinvest back into better equipment and kit for training, the funding has brought the community together and sports teams are now going from strength to strength, including an expanding Women's football side.

📣 What could your club do? It's not too late to apply to this year's Energy Saving Grant. Submit your expression of interest by 5pm, Monday 29 June: https://bit.ly/4dzbNS2

Dance and Creative Movement wasn't on Fairfield Primary School's radar, but the School Sport Survey helped them provide opportunities that their pupils asked for.

Giving their pupils a voice to clearly communicate their needs, the survey helped the school provide wider sporting options. They have since found that children less engaged in physical activity are now taking part in the lunchtime dance zone, and sports like darts are supporting cross-curricular skills like numeracy and literacy.

Results from the School Sport Survey will help your school's leadership team integrate physical activity into your every-day schedule - take part in the survey today.

Mair’s story is one of friendship, fitness, and finding her way back to something she loves.
