It delivers tangible benefits to communities across Wales, and sets a national benchmark for collaborative,&nbsp;sustainable&nbsp;and ethical practice across the sport and leisure sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past two years, there have been&nbsp;numerous&nbsp;standout demonstrations of the impact of the Fund and its dedicated recipients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of which is the West Wales Sports Partnership\u2019s REPLAY project, which is redefining how sports kit and equipment are reused across West Wales. By supporting local kit\u2011reuse networks, REPLAY reduces waste while simultaneously lowering financial barriers to participation, increasing accessibility and strengthening community resilience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sustainability-in-Sport-Fund-2025-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sustainability-in-Sport-Fund-2025-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sustainability-in-Sport-Fund-2025-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sustainability-in-Sport-Fund-2025-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sustainability-in-Sport-Fund-2025-1-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sustainability-in-Sport-Fund-2025-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sustainability-in-Sport-Fund-2025-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sustainability-in-Sport-Fund-2025-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sustainability-in-Sport-Fund-2025-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;Sustainability in Sport&nbsp;Fund also delivers clear and meaningful social impact. Dragons RFC&nbsp;showcased&nbsp;how sustainability can unite and galvanise communities through their new Eco\u2011Hub at Rodney Parade &#8211; a visible, practical space that&nbsp;demonstrates&nbsp;environmental responsibility in action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Clubs (BGC) of&nbsp;Wales\u2019&nbsp;Environmental Adventure Initiative, has empowered young people and fostered long\u2011term behaviour change. Co\u2011designed with the BGC Wales Youth Forum, the initiative included a 100\u2011mile canoe expedition along the River Wye to test water quality and ecology, alongside wider efforts to embed sustainability across all outdoor activities. The project\u2019s legacy will be the creation of young Eco\u2011Leaders who take their learning back into communities across South Wales, inspiring further action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 50 organisations have applied across the first two editions, which is&nbsp;clear evidence&nbsp;of sector appetite,&nbsp;energy&nbsp;and ambition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WSA CEO, Andrew Howard,&nbsp;stated:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have been incredibly grateful to Admiral for their investment over the past two years, because of the Fund\u2019s amazing impact on ESG practices and education across Wales already.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe case studies we have heard since the first round of funding, and the quality of submissions this year, are evidence of our sector\u2019s dedication and commitment to advancing sustainability within local communities; and the Sustainability in Sport Fund ensures that these ambitions are realised.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are incredibly proud to have been shortlisted for the&nbsp;ESG Excellence of the Year&nbsp;award, and&nbsp;are grateful to Finance Awards Wales for this recognition. We look forward to finding out the results in May!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The WSA is also proud to have recently delivered the second year of the Sustainability in Sport Fund, in collaboration with Admiral, offering \u00a3100,000 to sporting organisations and clubs to deliver innovative,&nbsp;impactful&nbsp;and scalable sustainability projects that drive
