But we are all facing the same challenges whether we are private operators, charities or local authorities,&nbsp;and the feeling of community that the WSA gives helps to overcome these feelings.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u201cThere is somewhere to see good practice, somewhere to shout about our own good practice (although we are still poor at doing that!) and to share the trials and tribulations facing the sector&nbsp;\u2013 especially during this coming period of COVID recovery.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jane continued to reveal how the Trust has benefitted from WSA support and services over the years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIn addition, we&nbsp;found strange the isolation seemingly felt in the leisure aspects of our service as opposed to the cultural services such as Libraries,&nbsp;who have a whole network of support through Libraries Connected and the Society of Chief Librarians (Wales).&nbsp;So, it seemed a natural progression to find&nbsp;somewhere we could develop the same sort of network and support for our leisure&nbsp;services,&nbsp;and I really believe WSA does this. Advocacy is important to us as we navigate a new business model as a&nbsp;Trust,&nbsp;and&nbsp;seeing a collective voice representing us makes us feel part of a wider sector.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u201cThe ability to access a range of support has helped enormously&nbsp;in developing&nbsp;our own procedures and practices&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;and the ability to access this at any time through the members resources section is great because as we all know leisure is not a 9-5 service!&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u201cWe have used&nbsp;the&nbsp;DBS checking service, which has been great as the turnaround for the service was much quicker than what we were using previously. But the greatest result has been the ability of the staff to engage and see wider information than their&nbsp;previously&nbsp;narrow perspectives.&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u201cIt\u2019s&nbsp;all&nbsp;there when we need it;&nbsp;we can dip in and dip out of the resources and information. We can use it at all hours of the&nbsp;day \u2013&nbsp;and I am certain I am not the only one in leisure who has had sleepless nights and late night\/early morning reading sessions when planning the next move.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p>\u201cUpdate meetings&nbsp;between Welsh Government and the sector&nbsp;as things have changed and progressed have&nbsp;also&nbsp;been incredibly&nbsp;useful,&nbsp;and&nbsp;have informed thinking across other elements of our facilities as well which are more cultural in nature.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jane concluded by revealing to the WSA just what membership is like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cIt is like having a sounding board best friend who understands and advocates on&nbsp;the industry\u2019s&nbsp;behalf even if we haven\u2019t asked directly.
