A FANTASTIC DAY OF POWERLIFTING AT SAW!

It was great to see some of our SAW lifters stepping onto the competition platform for the very first time, alongside our more experienced lifters.

We were also delighted to welcome Special Olympics GB athletes from around the UK, competing as part of the qualification pathway towards the 2027 Special Olympics World Games in Santiago, Chile. 🇬🇧🇨🇱

A huge thank you to our SAW volunteers who gave their time to make today possible - from refereeing and running the competition through to spotting, loading and supporting the lifters throughout the day. ♥️

A brilliant atmosphere, some fantastic lifting and, most importantly, a really supportive day for everyone involved.

Congratulations to all our lifters and thank you to everyone who helped make it such a successful day! 👏

ALL SET FOR TOMORROW!

We’re looking forward to a fantastic day of powerlifting at SAW tomorrow, with 18 lifters taking to the platform.

We have a great mix of SAW lifters competing, from those stepping onto the competition platform for the first time through to some of our more established lifters.

We’re also delighted to welcome 7 Special Olympics GB athletes from around the UK, with the competition forming part of their qualification pathway towards the 2027 Special Olympics World Games in Santiago, Chile. 🇬🇧🇨🇱

A huge thank you to the 15 SAW volunteers giving their time to help us deliver the competition. We really couldn’t do it without them. ♥️ 💚

Good luck to everyone competing - looking forward to a great day!

Wendy’s Cardiff Half for SAW Parkinson’s Strength 💙

On 4 October, Wendy Roach will be taking on the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise funds for our SAW Parkinson’s Strength community.

Wendy’s husband Michael attends the sessions, which she describes as a “game changer”, helping improve his balance, mobility and giving him a real sense of purpose.

Wendy only started running 12 months ago with 5k parkruns and is now training hard for her first half marathon!

Every donation will help us continue providing our Parkinson’s Strength sessions here in Pembrokeshire.

If you’re able to support Wendy, we’d really appreciate it - and please give this post a share. 💙
