Learning Welsh can feel like a warm conversation among friends when you bring games into the mix. Games make language learning vivid and playful, helping you internalise new words through repetition, action and social interaction. No matter if you are a parent, teacher or adult learner, games offer low-pressure opportunities for speaking, listening and remembering. In Wales, education policy under Cymraeg 2050 (the Welsh Government’s strategy to reach a million Welsh speakers) emphasises creating fun, everyday chances to use Cymraeg in social and community settings. Games do exactly that: they help you practise real, conversational Welsh while feeling like you’re…

There is something special about a cold Saturday at a lower league ground. The pies, the shouting, the uneven pitch – it feels more real than the polished spectacle of top-flight football. Fans in these stands often know their club’s story by heart. That local knowledge, often overlooked by larger audiences, hides opportunities for sharp bettors who watch closely. For those who understand rhythm and form at this level, betting becomes part of the same ritual as cheering from the terrace. 1xBet Ireland Football Bet offers examples of how this connection between local understanding and data can build consistent logic.…

The Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government, Jayne Bryant, has announced that local authorities will next year receive £6.4bn from the Welsh Government to spend on delivering key services. The investment, which comes from the Revenue Support Grant and non-domestic rates, means that Welsh councils will receive an average 2.7% funding increase, helping to protect vital services including social care, education and waste collection. In addition, a fully funded floor will ensure that no council receives less than a 2.3% increase. In addition to the core settlement, there will also be grants for local government amounting to over £1.3bn…

The Welsh Government’s historic environment service, Cadw, is searching for three new trainee stonemasons to join and train alongside its team of professional stonemasons. With roughly one third of Wales’s buildings constructed from traditional materials – solid stone, brick or pre-1919 timber framing – the demand for skilled stonemasons and conservation professionals has never been greater. These characterful buildings shape towns and streets across Wales, yet there’s an increasing struggle to find craftspeople with the expertise to care for them properly. This one-off traineeship will see three stonemasons recruited to work alongside Cadw’s in-house professional heritage skills team, Cadwraeth Cymru.…

The doors of Ty’n Llan in Llandwrog, near Caernarfon, have reopened following a community-led effort to save and restore the village’s historic pub. The much-loved local closed its doors in 2017, one of 18 pubs shutting each week across Britain during that period. For several years, the building stood empty – a shell in the heart of the village – until word spread in 2021 that it was to be sold. What began as local concern soon grew into a determined community movement to buy and revive the community hub. “We were coming to the end of lockdown, and people…
