class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Welsh Sports Association<\/span><\/span><\/a> members and how WSA membership has benefitted them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The organisation was already a member of the WSA when I joined but, from the moment I started, it\u2019s been clear that they\u2019ve really been the voice for the sector through the COVID-19 Pandemic and really helped us establish engagement with Welsh Government as well as support us in a variety of ways \u2013 either through governance or business resources.<\/p><p>We\u2019ve used Acorn for recruitment as well as making use of the governance resources and legal support on offer \u2013 the latter of which has been especially useful to us, as it has helped in a number of areas.<\/p><p>The WSA not only generates a combined voice for the sector \u2013 which has been hugely helpful through the Pandemic \u2013 but also offers a network of resources and supportive organisations that help us in a variety of ways as issues and challenges come up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alistair concluded by summarising why any ponderous organisations should sign up for membership!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I would definitely recommend the WSA; it\u2019s just a good way of generating a collective voice in challenging times while also leaning on a bank of resources \u2013 it\u2019s certainly a useful support for our fairly small National Governing Body.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find out more about the benefits of WSA membership, click <a
