Thanks to the National Lottery

National Lottery funding has been a game changer for Welsh sport for nearly 30 years. Thanks to UK Sport’s National Lottery-funded World Class Programme, our top Welsh athletes are able to train full time, have access to the world’s best coaches and benefit from pioneering medical support.

National Lottery funding also supports the grassroots clubs through which they emerge and has been invested into creating world-class sporting facilities such as the Geraint Thomas Velodrome in Newport and the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
