About us
We are the national organisation responsible for developing and promoting sport and physical activity in Wales. Our role is to advise and add value. We work closely with our key partners to ensure that the delivery and development of sport at both a national and local level provides the people of Wales with every opportunity to excel at their sport of choice. We see the benefits of sport in the widest sense; not solely impacting on improving the physical health of the nation, but also in bringing communities together, building confidence in young and old, providing new skills and training and attracting investment into Wales. To unite a proud sporting nation is not only ours, but the sector’s vision, where every child is hooked on sport for life and Wales is a Nation of Champions. We aim to not only improve the level of sports participation at grassroots level but also provide our aspiring athletes with the support required to compete successfully on the world stage. This vision isn't necessarily new. We're still focused on getting more people, more active, more often, and on Wales securing enviable sporting success. But it's noticeably different - ambitious in scope, bold in its outcomes and highly challenging for all of us working in sport. We want a diverse, passionate and skilled sporting workforce that encourages, inspires and supports everyone who participates in sport.

Honouring Stephen Jones - A True Welsh Game Changer 🏆 Anrhydeddu Stephen Jones - Yn Newid y Gêm yng Nghymru 🏆 Stephen Jones has played a pivotal role in transforming wheelchair rugby league in North Wales, making it an inclusive sport for all ages and abilities. Today, we celebrate him as one of The National Lottery's seven Sport Game Changers as they mark their 30th Birthday. 🎉 #NationalLottery30 Mae Stephen Jones wedi chwarae rhan ganolog wrth drawsnewid rygbi’r gynghrair cadair olwyn yng Ngogledd Cymru, gan ei gwneud yn gamp gynhwysol i bob oedran a gallu. Heddiw, rydyn ni'n ei ddathlu fel un o saith Game Changer Chwaraeon y Loteri Genedlaethol wrth iddi ddathlu ei phen blwydd yn 30 oed. 🎉 Stephen said: “I fell in love with wheelchair rugby league purely because it's so diverse. Anyone can play. It's totally inclusive at the moment. I'm so passionate that we need sports for disabled people and with the help of National Lottery funding we’ve been able to move the dial on that significantly.” Dywedodd Stephen: “Syrthiais mewn cariad â’r gamp yn llwyr oherwydd ei bod mor amrywiol. Gall unrhyw un chwarae. Mae'n gwbl gynhwysol ar hyn o bryd. Rwy'n angerddol iawn bod angen chwaraeon i bobl anabl a gyda chymorth arian y Loteri, rydym wedi gallu symud ymlaen yn arwyddocaol yn y maes hwnnw." https://lnkd.in/eJJrdH6f
