Members of Pembrokeshire Special Needs Gymnastics Club were able to travel to the Poole Open Championships - Disability Gymnastics recently thanks to funding received from the Port of Milford Haven.

Proudly displaying a fantastic array of prizes, the members celebrated a successful competition and returned home with 32 medals.

The club trains at the Meads Leisure Centre in Milford Haven and has members from all over Pembrokeshire. Young people are encouraged to advance their physical health and develop gymnastics skills whilst having fun and making friends in a safe and supportive environment. A loyal team of volunteers give up their spare time to train team members and offer support to participate locally and in national competitions such as the Special Olympics.

Head coach, Amy Yelland, said: “Attending the Open Championships is a fantastic experience for the gymnasts and the club is very grateful for the Port’s continued support over the years. If anyone is interested in volunteering with the club, please pop along to the Meads on any term time Thursday from 4.30 to 8.30 pm”

“It’s great to see the Port’s Community Fund in action,”said Anna Malloy, PR and communications manager for the Port of Milford Haven. “Our employees, who assess all applications for financial support, are always motivated to see how the projects they support are enriching the lives of people in their local community.”
