Dear Friends,

This year has been exceptional for HAWFC. Our

current membership stands at over 900 since

we opened the doors in April 2012.

Our approach to fitness is simple. We provide

bespoke programmes on request to all our new

members which is both informative and struc-

tured to ensure their adaptation from commenc-

ing the programme to completion of the initial 6-

10 weeks is both positive, and developmental.

So many success stories to include in this news

letter, but the stand out ones include, the Inclu-

sion in several TV and National News Stories,

including the One Show with an audience of 5

million viewers.

Sports Wales, Community Strategy Website, and

many hours of coverage at the 2014 Common-

wealth Games.

The Award of Highly Commendable from the

National Social Enterprise Awards is a privilege

we were honoured to receive.

Our Fund Raising has continued with our Annual

Splash for Cash in its 11th year, raising over

700. We donated 500 to Help for Heroes and

200 to Casey Jones MBE who travels to Africa

annually to help poor communities.

We have also sponsored the Holyhead Disability

Basketball Team with kit sponsorship. We are

proud of every one on the Team.

HAWFC have been a major sponsor for our very own Olym-

pian Gareth Evans and were very proud of his perform-

ance at Glasgow and his subsequent qualification for the

World Seniors in November this year where we are hopeful

of a high finish and possible qualification for Rio 2016.

We also applaud Stephanie Owens for her qualification

and participation at Glasgow 2014, She acquitted herself

very well and can look forward to building on her perform-

ance for the Gold Coast 2018.

Our British Level competitors include Gwyllim Sion Pari,

Best Lifter at the British Juniors and competed for Wales

in several International events. Sam Henderson, Com-

peted for GB and finished 8th at the European Youth

Championships in Poland, and won the British Senior Title

at 16 years of age. Seth Casidsid won the Welsh Title and

was second at the British Seniors.

group winner in the Youth International at Austria.

We are very fortunate to have a great team at HAWFC, both Chris and

Luke have provided excellent advice and training to many groups and

individuals since they both gained placements at the centre and have

now been subsequently employed by HAWFC. Luke and Chris are also

both Level 1 Assistant Weightlifting Coaches. To Seth our new Instructor,

we wish him a great time with us and we will utilise his competency as a

Level 3 Personal Trainer to look at new initiative going forward.

To all our past employees, we are very proud of your progress post em-

ployment at the Centre. Critch and Dalton have reached the very high

standards for entry into the Marine Corps and the Welsh Cavalry. Kristian

ward bound courses. Aron is working for the Isle of Anglesey County

We can advise on this area that hinders lots of Individuals

progress. Current statistics paint a very poor picture of our

nations health and wellbeing. I would recommend that you

keep well away from the salespeople that sell products to

provide the miracle of weight loss. The simple lifestyle of

good healthy eating, correct portion sizes, no junk food be-

tween meals and correct hydration coupled with a structured

specific physical training plan is the only way that long-term

weight management can be achieved The onus is on YOU to

take charge of YOU!!. It can be a long road for some, but the

benefits once adaptation occurs are brilliant we have several

great examples at HAWFC, of people who have changed their

lives around.

Currently we conduct weekly sessions at Cemaes Bay (Memorial Hall 6.00pm

on Mondays), (Bodedern School 6.00pm on Tuesdays) and Wylfa 6.00pm on

Wednesdays), which are well attended. We will be extending this programme

across more communities of Ynys Mon over autumn and winter this year.

We are currently seeking funding partnerships with several agencies to provide a

Front of House Reception to include more toilet and shower facilities and a

physiotherapy room which is needed by our members. To date we have secured

55,000 and are close to securing the remainder to make up the 105,000. It is

hoped that the new extension will be operational by March 2015.

C O N C L U S I O N In a very short period of time the centre has been open its achievements have

been fantastic. We are rightly proud of HAWFC and its achievements both on

the sporting field of play and the life changing health and fitness benefits it is

providing for the Community of Ynys Mon.

We thank our partners Isle of Anglesey County Council, Mentor Mon, Sport

Wales, Wales Cooperative, WAG, Coleg Menai, and Arfon Dwyfor Training. The

support provided has been pivotal in the growth of this Social Enterprise and

more importantly providing a service to create a fitter healthier Anglesey.

All three could make

Gold Coast 2018.
