SUPPORT for community sports clubs will be available again as the sports council relaunches its partnership.

Prior to the covid pandemic, Ceredigion Sports Council was supporting almost 100 affiliated sports clubs and community organisations across the county.

Ceredigion Sports Council is made up of representatives of community sport who works in partnership with the council to develop sport within the community.

The sports council works in partnership with Ceredigion Actif to provide a range of services such as information on funding opportunities, access to specialist advice and sports information, discounted rates on child protection and first aid courses and provides clubs with support to strengthen their volunteer bases.

The usual membership fee will be waived, allowing clubs to enjoy the programme for free until the end of 2023 as a celebration of the relaunch.

Councillor Catrin M S Davies, Ceredigion County Council’s cabinet member for culture, leisure and customer services, said: “The Ceredigion Sports Council is such an important group to support community clubs across Ceredigion.

“Community sports and grassroots clubs are the backbone of sports development, and they need all possible support, and the hope is that the sports council can provide that and give clubs the opportunity to learn from each other while sharing experiences and information.

Clubs that register with Ceredigion Sports Council can attend the April 18 online safeguarding course at a discounted price of £20 per person.
