North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Andy Dunbobbin said: “I’m delighted to support such a broad mix of clubs and organisations through this year’s Summer Sports Fund. Their commitment to young people and to local communities was clear in every application.
“My role as Commissioner is not only to support policing, but also to invest in long-term community safety and that means helping young people stay active, connected, and supported. With the school holidays underway, it’s the perfect time to channel their energy into something fun, structured, and meaningful.
“Supporting communities is a key priority within my Police and Crime Plan for North Wales and I am really pleased that funding will go towards putting on positive sporting activities for young people across our region throughout the summer months.”
Gaynor McKeown, Chief Executive for DASU, who received funding for their Summer of Fun project, said: “We’re incredibly pleased to receive this funding from the Summer Sports Fund. It means we can offer children and young people affected by domestic abuse a safe space to have fun, build confidence, and simply enjoy being kids again.
“Many of the families we support face real barriers to accessing activities over the summer, and this grant allows us to provide positive, structured experiences that can make a lasting difference. We’re proud to be part of a programme that puts young people’s wellbeing at its heart.”
