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.
