A vital donation has been made to Pembrokeshire-based marine conservation charity Sea Trust.

The contribution by Activity Wales Events, reflects the sporting organisation’s commitment to supporting environmental causes that impact the communities and natural ecosystems across Wales, where so many of its events take place.

The donation is made up of both athlete support when registering, and the LCW Legacy programme, which supports vital community and child initiatives across the county.

The donation will help fund Sea Trust’s various programs focused on protecting marine life and promoting awareness of local and global marine conservation issues. This includes vital dolphin and porpoise monitoring projects, public education on marine biodiversity, and interactive experiences that inspire residents and visitors to become stewards of the sea.

“We are thrilled to support Sea Trust in its mission to protect and preserve the marine life that makes Wales such a unique and beautiful place to live and explore,” said Matthew Evans, CEO of Activity Wales Events.

“As an organisation that is so connected to the outdoors, we understand the importance of preserving our natural environment for future generations and for the people who call this region home. We would also like to thank our athletes and the local communities that we race in for their continued support.”

Sea Trust’s work is critical in raising awareness of local environmental issues and in preserving the natural beauty that drives tourism and community well-being in West Wales.

The organisation regularly engages in educational outreach, empowering people of all ages to appreciate and protect marine habitats. With Activity Wales Events’ support, Sea Trust will be able to expand its volunteer initiatives, community engagement, and hands-on conservation efforts that help preserve Pembrokeshire’s marine ecosystem.

“The Sea Trust team is very grateful for Activity Wales Events’ annual support from their Challenge Wales Race,” said Nadia Tomsa, Projects Manager at Sea Trust Wales.

“The donation goes directly towards our local marine conservation, research, and education, working to protect Wales’s incredible marine life by engaging local people.”

This partnership is another step in Activity Wales Events’ ongoing commitment to sustainability and community engagement.
