Leia Vobe is a 19-year-old Welsh tumbler from Newcastle Emlyn who competes for Aberystwyth Gymnastics Club. Having dedicated 16 years to the sport, she has already represented Wales four times internationally and Great Britain once. Alongside her training, Leia Vobe is studying Sport and Exercise Science at Cardiff Metropolitan University.

Her ambition is to continue progressing within tumbling, achieve personal bests and represent Wales with pride on the international stage. Just as importantly, she wants to inspire younger gymnasts, particularly girls in Wales, to remain committed to the sport and feel supported during important stages of their development.

Tumbling is entirely self-funded, which means training fees, equipment, competition entries, accommodation and travel must be covered by athletes and their families. The grant will help Leia Vobe meet the costs of attending two British qualifying competitions in Telford, alongside a Home Nations competition representing Wales.

Her goals include completing more complex routines, qualifying for the British Finals and representing Wales at the Home Nations competition. As one of only three female tumblers in Wales over the age of 17 competing at performance level, she also recognises the influence she can have as a positive role model for younger athletes, particularly those growing up in rural communities.

We are delighted to support Leia Vobe as she continues her sporting journey and demonstrates the confidence, resilience and determination that participation in high-level sport can build.

Tysul Netball Club began in 2017 with just seven girls. It has since grown to include a senior ladies’ team with more than 20 members and a junior team with 30 girls training each week. In 2026, the junior teams are set to enter a league for the first time.

The volunteer-run club is committed to making netball inclusive and accessible for people in rural communities. Through regular training, members can experience the physical and mental benefits of exercise while developing resilience, sportsmanship and a strong sense of belonging. Volunteers also have opportunities to complete coaching and umpiring qualifications, creating an important development pathway within the club.

Like many grassroots organisations, Tysul Netball Club balances its ambitions with the ongoing costs of hall hire, equipment and competition. Delineate’s grant will help the club maintain affordable training, strengthen its financial position and enable the junior teams to put their skills into practice in a competitive league for the first time.

This is an exciting milestone for a club that has grown significantly since 2017. By providing a welcoming and affordable route into regular sport, Tysul Netball Club is supporting physical activity, mental wellbeing and meaningful social connections for girls across the local area.

The aim of 1st Llandysul Scouts is to help young people achieve their full potential as individuals and as responsible members of their communities. Its motto, “Grym yr Daioni”, translates as “Force for good”, an ethos reflected in the group’s outdoor activities, leadership development, teamwork and community service.

Its young people regularly support local initiatives, including litter picks, river clean-ups, food bank donation drives and community events. These experiences give members opportunities to build confidence and skills outside a traditional educational environment.

In August, the group travelled to Dublin, and for many, it was their first journey by ferry and their first visit to Ireland. The group stayed at Larch Hill International Scout and Guide Centre and enjoyed cultural visits including the National Museum of Ireland and Dublin Zoo.

The Scouts also gave something back to their host community. They completed voluntary work around the centre, improving an access road, clearing fallen branches and preparing a campfire area. Their contribution earned them Good Turn badges from the Larch Hill administrators. The campfire brought together Scouts from Ireland and volunteers from Germany, giving the young people another opportunity to connect across cultures.

Funding from the Delineate Community Commitment helped make the trip accessible to young people who would otherwise have faced a financial barrier. The experience encouraged independence, respect, practical skills and the confidence to travel away from home and try something new.

The Spring 2026 funding round shows the breadth of activity that contributes to community health and wellbeing. From elite and grassroots sport to volunteering, cultural experiences and youth development, these recipients demonstrate what can happen when local ambition is given practical support.

We are incredibly proud to support Leia Vobe, Tysul Netball Club and 1st Llandysul Scouts. Their commitment, resilience and enthusiasm reflect the values at the heart of the Delineate Community Commitment.

If you have a project or initiative that supports health and wellbeing in your community, we encourage you to learn more about the programme and consider applying for a future funding round. Full details can be found on the Delineate Community Commitment page.
