The ability to join with other providers to share experiences and pressures facing us during the past couple of years has been extremely valuable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colleen continued to explain what membership has meant for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legacyleisure.org.uk\/\" class=\"ek-link\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"ek-underline\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Legacy Leisure<\/span><\/span><\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Joining the WSA has provided us with a clear understanding that whatever the basis of your organisation \u2013 whether it\u2019s Trust, Voluntary, Commercial, or Public &#8211; the threats and opportunities in sport are the same; working together and understanding each other\u2019s perspective can, and does, make a difference to people\u2019s lives. <em>\u202f<\/em>\u00a0<\/p><p>Membership has had a really successful impact for us. We\u2019ve had positive engagement with other facility providers, better understanding of the Welsh sporting landscape and frameworks, access to financial and peer support, and felt a direct impact of the WSA\u2019s lobbying for sector support \u2013 their representation and advocacy has really stood out.\u00a0<\/p><p>Our general experience with the WSA has been really positive. It\u2019s been easy to access the guidance and advice provided, and to learn of the resources available that can support the Welsh region of our company; being a national company, integrating with and understanding the Welsh agenda and processes has been invaluable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conclusion, Colleen went on to say if she&#8217;d recommend the WSA to any potential members:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I would undoubtedly recommend the WSA to any prospective members. It\u2019s a &#8216;one stop shop&#8217; for the whole sector to be able to interact, develop partnerships, share experiences, and access services.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>As a large company, many of the services the WSA provide are already granted through Parkwood Leisure, but they\u2019re so important for smaller organisations who may not have the access to central resources and support that we have. <em>\u202f<\/em>\u00a0<\/p><p>Although we came to the WSA in a period of uncertainty and high risk to the sector, we fully intend to stay on as members to ensure we are fully engaged and linked to the sports sector in Wales in the future. <em>\u202f<\/em>\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about the benefits of WSA membership, click <a href=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/cy\/membership\/wsa-member-benefits\/\" class=\"ek-link\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"ek-underline\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">here<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To discover how to become members, click <a href=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/cy\/membership\/become-a-member\/\" class=\"ek-link\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"ek-underline\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">here<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legacy Leisure WSA Membership Testimonial Colleen Tumelty, Regional Director for Wales and the South West at Legacy Leisure, has revealed why the organisation signed up to be members of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":738,"featured_media":133,"parent":23157,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"class_list":["post-25098","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/running.jpg","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
