"Wales has won a medal in weightlifting at every Commonwealth Games since the 1950s. Holyhead and Anglesey Weightlifting Fitness Centre without question, has been one of the biggest providers of medals. Financial support has allowed us to create a functional gym that caters to the sporting elite and the community equally. It supports our ambition to widen access to the sport and general functional fitness, and the potential benefit this has for the health and wellbeing of communities on Anglesey.” - Raymond Williams, Weightlifting Wales Head Coach

“Môn-SAR is the first and only lowland search and rescue team in Wales. We are totally dependent on local volunteers and donations from organisations such as the Isle Anglesey Charitable Association to operate. This enables us to continue to play a part in searching and rescuing several vulnerable people and returning them to their families.” - Huw Thomas, Chair of the Management Committee

“Funding support continues to allow us to provide unique opportunities through the medium of Welsh for children and young people on Ynys Môn. Cwrs tu ol i’r Lens, in partnership with Screen Wales, was a great training opportunity for members with a desire to learn more about work in the film and TV industry. The filming workshop gave our young people hands on experience using camera, editing and production equipment whilst meeting, quizzing and learning from industry professionals.” - Eryl Williams, Urdd Ynys Môn
