CYLCHLYTHYRAU

It’s been a lively month across BGC Wales, with summer activities in full swing! From football finals to forest schools, our young people have been shining - supported every step of the way by amazing staff, volunteers, and clubs. Catch up on the highlights and see what’s been happening across the network. Thanks for being part of the BGC Wales family!

It is with great sadness that we announce the news of two significant losses to our BGC community. Our Lodge Centre Manager, Dale Davies, tragically passed away while on a climbing holiday in the French Alps. This news has rocked the organisation and our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with Dale’s family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. We are also heartbroken to hear that Neil Ellis has passed away. Neil was the inspirational leader of Bettws Boys’ and Girls’ Club and the visionary who led the creation of the Lodge to benefit young people in the community.

They say that Spring is the season of growth and development, and what a month we’ve had here this May. We’re incredibly proud of everything our young people have taken part in and achieved! As Spring turns to Summer, the season of action, we have lots of opportunities for available for both leaders and young people!
