Put CYMRU on the shirt: £10,000 World Cup appeal launches.

A campaign has been launched to raise £10,000 to support Cymru’s wheelchair rugby league team as they prepare to represent Wales at the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup in Australia later this year.

The ‘10,000 for CYMRU’ campaign is calling on people across Wales, as well as supporters around the world, to give just £1 to help put CYMRU on the front of the team’s shirts and help cover the significant costs involved in preparing an elite international team for a major tournament on the other side of the world.

The campaign has a simple ambition: 10,000 people giving £1 to help Cymru compete on the world stage. A pound may seem a small amount, but £10,000 will make the huge difference to the team.

For the players selected to represent Wales, this is about much more than a sporting event. It is an opportunity to wear the red jersey, represent their communities and showcase the strength, determination and talent of wheelchair rugby league in Wales.

But taking a disability sport team to a World Cup in Australia comes with substantial costs.

Funds raised will help towards essential expenses including travel, training facilities, playing and off-field kit, excess wheelchair baggage, vehicle hire, insurance, spare wheelchair parts and medical supplies, all of which are vital to enabling the squad to compete safely and effectively.

The team is therefore asking communities, businesses, sports clubs, schools, organisations and individuals across Wales to get behind the appeal.

Head coach Alan Caron said: “Representing Wales on the world stage in Australia is an incredible honour, but the logistics of getting an elite wheelchair squad across the globe are immense. Every single pound raised brings us closer to making sure our players have the exact training, equipment, and support they need to perform at their best."

A butcher from a family with generations in the trade has joined Rhug Estate, bringing international experience to the North Wales organic food producer.

Food technician Uli Kappel has swapped rural Germany for the 12,500-acre estate near Corwen after a career spanning Europe and South America, joining the award-winning Farm Shop at one of its busiest times of the year.

The appointment strengthens the team behind Rhug's renowned butcher's counter, which serves thousands of visitors annually alongside a growing online customer base, with Rhug's meat holding a prestigious Royal Warrant from His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen.

Born and raised in the rural Meschede region of Germany, Uli comes from a long line of butchers, with his grandfather, father, uncles and cousins all working in the profession.

After building his career in countries including Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Switzerland and across South America before moving to Scotland, he was approached about joining Rhug Estate and immediately felt at home.

"It feels very similar to where I grew up," said Uli.

"We had a small village surrounded by mountains, rivers and streams, although perhaps the mountains there are a little bigger!"

Coleg Cambria joined education providers, employers and training organisations across the UK in championing the achievements of learners as part of the inaugural Vocational Celebration Day.

The college marked the national awareness day - supported by Enginuity - on Thursday (August 6) by shining a spotlight on another outstanding year for its students, apprentices, staff and employer partners.

Launched to challenge outdated perceptions of technical education, the UK-wide campaign celebrates learners following vocational pathways and highlights the contribution apprenticeships, specialist qualifications and employer-led training make to communities, businesses and the wider economy.

It comes after another landmark year for Coleg Cambria. Learners achieved a record-breaking 68 honours at Skills Competition Wales, including 19 medals, while Tomas Ankers is among those preparing to represent the college at this autumn's WorldSkills Shanghai finals after qualifying in CNC Milling.

Cambria for Business also achieved national recognition through Professional Institute Awards such as the IET (Institute of Electrical Technology) and IMEchE (Institute of Mechanical Engineering) Learner of the Year Awards, with Lauren Travis, a Village Bakery Engineer, among those celebrated.

Nick Tyson, Vice Principal and Director of Business and Partnerships at Coleg Cambria, said: "Vocational Celebration Day recognises something we see every day at the college - that technical education provides opportunities, transforms lives, strengthens businesses and helps drive the economy.

"It is a chance to celebrate not only the achievements of our learners and apprentices, but also the employers who invest in developing future talent alongside us.

"Our partnerships with leading companies across advanced manufacturing, engineering, construction, healthcare, leadership and management and many other sectors ensure our learners develop the practical skills, confidence and professional behaviours employers are looking for.

"The success we've seen this year - from MAKE UK national award winners, to our record-breaking performance at Skills Competition Wales to learners preparing for the WorldSkills UK finals - demonstrates the outstanding talent we have across North Wales. We hope this new national celebration inspires even more people to see vocational education as a first-choice pathway into exciting, rewarding careers."
