Don’t Drop the Ball in 2025 thanks to WSA resources

As we begin a new calendar year, the Welsh Sports Association (WSA) would like to remind all of our members that we provide an array of resources and services designed to allow you to not drop the ball and remain resilient.

There are many examples of how the cost-of-living crisis has impacted our sector, alongside some significant environmental challenges, with many organisations and facilities facing true existential threats. This is why it is crucial for members to remember their organisational and individual responsibilities and duties, and are aware of the opportunities that can help them grow, progress and stay sustainable.

Striving to enable our members and the wider sport and leisure sector to become stronger and more resilient, the WSA provide a wide variety of important services and resources – some of which are featured on our campaign page, Don’t Drop the Ball – the WSA encourage colleagues across the sector to familiarise themselves with the campaign page, to ensure that we are all confidently, safely and responsibly participating in and delivering sport events and activities across Wales! #dontdroptheball

For example, is your current insurance policy fit for purpose? Our Partners Howden will ensure that you have the most appropriate cover to face the challenges that lie ahead – from the increased risk to cyber security, the intricacies of protecting a sports facility, or support with elite sports travel and event disruptions.

Have you been able to review and lock in a new energy contract? Our Procurement Portal offers members the opportunity to make significant savings on energy deals, as well as longer-term sustainable energy solutions, such as solar, or EV charging ports to set your organisation up for a healthier and more financially efficient future. Learn more about the Procurement Portal and get started!

Our Don’t Drop the Ball campaign features a whole host of other resources, too. From governance support, provided by the excellent product of our partners CalQRisk, to our esteemed DBS checking service, the WSA can provide you and your organisation with a crucial crutch with vital areas of responsibility.
