Day one at The Royal Welsh Show 2023

The ‘Welsh Offer’ Accolade

On the first day of the 2023 Royal Welsh Show GWCT Cymru were awarded The Welsh Offer (or the ‘Cynnig Cymraeg’ in Welsh) by the Welsh Language Commissioner. It is recognition of an organisation’s commitment to the Welsh Language and using it as an integral part of their work.  It is an opportunity to transform our engagement with the public by showing how proud we are to offer services in Welsh – which GWCT Wales feel is an integral part of the work we do in Wales.

The Welsh Language Commissioner, Efa Gruffudd Jones, presented the GWCT Cymru team with a certificate at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show on 24 July. The team will continue to work closely with the Welsh Commissioners Office to ensure they’re Welsh Offer goes from strength to strength.

Natural Capital Advisory Talk

Revealing Natural Capital Advisory at the GWCT Wales stand in the Royal Welsh Show, Chris Sparrow (NCA Managing Director) discussed the work which NCA have been undertaking with the Environmental Farmers Group in the Avon Valley. The audience heard about the significant role that natural capital such as nutrient mitigation, carbon and biodiversity net gain might play in the future of farming and the environment in Wales. Chris also highlighted how the lessons learnt in England could be used to put in place the measures needed in Wales to ensure a successful natural capital market.

Theresa Coffey Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for the UK visited the GWCT Cymru tent at the Royal Welsh Show and met the whole team in Wales.
