Y Bala’s community has recently came together to celebrate the opening of a new astro pitch at Ysgol Godre'r Berwyn!
After years of use by the school, local community, and sports clubs, the original pitch had reached the end of its lifespan. In April, a £250,000 upgrade was completed, delivering a modern surface suitable for a wide range of sports, along with new LED floodlights and dedicated equipment such as goals and maintenance equipment.
The project was made possible through a partnership between Y Bala Hockey Club, Ysgol Godre'r Berwyn, Cyngor Gwynedd and Hoci Cymru with generous contributions from
@sportwales via its Pitch Sports Collaboration group, made possible with
@WelshGovernment funding; Eryri Communities Fund (Eryri National Park Authority); Community Regeneration Support Fund (Cyngor Gwynedd), and Nuclear Restoration Services.
In addition, local sports clubs, town and community councils, businesses and individuals contributed to the project, with even the youngest members of the hockey club raising money by selling handmade bracelets!
