November was busy as we attended the Mastering Diversity Awards as one of the nominees, which we wrote about for our column. We’re grateful to have received the Meritorious Award that night. We also held our first event in West Wales in partnership with Yr Egin and the Outdoor Partnership.
Glamorgan Cricket hosted their first Women in Cricket Conference this October and CWS held a break out session. As we were nearing completion on our strategy publication, we chose to ask for contributions from those in the room on what women and girls need to thrive in sport in Wales.
We were pleased to be a part of Team Wales’ breakout at the Mastering Diversity Conference this September. Joined by EDI consultant Charl Galloway and one of our new Board Members, Princess Onyeanusi, we explored the intersectionality of sport and creating spaces all women and girls can enjoy.
A contigent of our Board represented CWS at the Welsh and Scottish Government’s Symposium prior to the two nations’ first game in Salford this August. We were thrilled to cheer on our Welsh women at the World Cup and fly the flag for women’s sport.
Celebrating the journey to full professionalisation of the women’s team at Glamorgan, CWS partner-event in July showcased the great work going on at the club to develop and promote women’s cricket.
After competitive recruitment, we were joined by 5 new board members, Stacey Webber, Mike Peacock, Princess Onyeanusi, Elliw Gwawr and Michelle Morgan, each bringing with them fresh perspectives and specific skills such as marketing, branding, finance and sport sector knowledge.
