Rominy Colville, of Sport Pembrokeshire, said: We are extremely grateful to Persimmon for this generous donation. Our aim is to develop a change culture around the importance of being physically active as families. We will also be targeting children with disabilities across the county, providing adaptive and sensory equipment to engage them with physical activity alongside parents and carers at home. We’re keen to extend the project to other clusters and age groups, particularly targeting disadvantaged children and families. This funding will help us do just that. Sport Pembrokeshire creates partnerships with schools, community clubs, governing bodies and facilities to promote sport to target groups.
A new pilot project has been launched to support some of the most vulnerable families in the Milford Haven area, helping them to get through what is perhaps the most difficult part of the pandemic so far. The Milford Community Action project is aiming to help up to 100 local families who are experiencing financial hardship, require additional support from local services, or whose children care for other family members. There will be a variety of practical support given in an attempt to help families both in the short term, and also guidance to help them build for a brighter future.
