Anglesey Council

Môn Actif says this year's summer holiday activity programme was among their most successful to date.

The council-run leisure centre delivered 181 activity sessions in 27 locations across Anglesey, attracting a total of 14,758 attendees, including children, young people and families.

Among the activities held were camps at RAF Valley and Rhosneigr Sports Club, the Plas Newydd Summer of Fun days and support for the Bwyd a Hwyl programme, along with specialist Mencap and Insport sessions and a range of activities at the Anglesey Show at Mona.

Môn Actif said participation levels reflected their commitment to providing accessible opportunities.

Barry Edwards, sports development manager at Anglesey Council, said: "This summer's programme has been another outstanding success, and the figures demonstrate the significant impact that Môn Actif continues to have within communities across Anglesey."

"To record over 14,000 attendances across a wide-ranging programme is a fantastic achievement and reflects the dedication, commitment and passion of our staff, coaches, volunteers and partner organisations."

"A key priority within the Môn Actif Strategic Plan is to improve participation and support health and wellbeing, and these results show that we are making a real difference."

"By providing inclusive, accessible and enjoyable opportunities for children, young people and families to be active, we are helping residents develop healthier lifestyles, improve wellbeing and build stronger connections within their local communities."

"I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone involved in helping to deliver opportunities throughout the summer. The strength of partnership working across the Island has once again been exceptional."

"Most importantly, I would like to thank all those who attended the activities and contributed to the programme's success through their enthusiasm, energy and willingness to get involved."

Feedback gathered over the summer suggested 99.6% enjoyed MônActif's activities and many (99.5%) intending to book for the Autumn half term activity programme, for which planning is already underway.

The council said the summer programme had demonstrated "the strength of partnership working" to help create positive experiences while encouraging healthier and more active lifestyles.

Cllr Alun Roberts, who holds the leisure portfolio, added: "These results clearly demonstrate the positive contribution that Môn Actif makes to the health, wellbeing and quality of life of residents across Anglesey."

"Through a varied programme of sport, play and physical activity opportunities, thousands of children, young people and families have been supported to lead healthier, happier and more active lives."

"The programme directly supports the council plan's vision of creating an Anglesey that is healthy and prosperous where people can thrive. It also reflects our commitment to providing high-quality Welsh language services, with every session delivered bilingually, ensuring that residents can access activities through the language of their choice."

"I am particularly pleased to see the outstanding feedback received from participants and parents, which highlights the value that communities place on these opportunities."

"I would like to thank everyone involved in making this summer programme such a tremendous success and look forward to seeing this important work continue across the island."
