Staff from various county council services will be at the Anglesey Show next week to explain how they are helping to deliver our vision for Anglesey.
Working under the Council Plan 2023 to 2028, our aim is to ‘create an Anglesey that is healthy and prosperous where people can thrive’.
Our attendance at one of the largest events in the Anglesey calendar, the Anglesey Show - which will be held at Mona, near Gwalchmai, on 12 August and 13 August - will provide another opportunity for us to raise awareness of our objectives and good work.
The county council’s marquee is located on stand D11. There, you can learn more about our economic development work, including the great strides being taken as part the Freeport scheme.
There will be an opportunity to learn more about employment opportunities provided by the council through valuable schemes such as Dyfodol Môn - which gives graduates the opportunity to follow a career - and Denu Talent, which offers work experience. Both schemes reinforce the council’s aim of being the employer of choice for young people and local residents.
This year we are pleased to welcome members of the Anglesey Urdd Eisteddfod’s Executive Committee to our marquee as they continue to raise funds to host this unique Welsh festival in 2026. Hoodies, t-shirts and other merchandise will be available to buy in the marquee.
There’s no better place than the Anglesey Show for members of the agricultural community or landowners to learn more about the Ffermio Bro scheme. The programme was launched by the Welsh Government on 1 April 2025 to support projects to improve nature and the environment in National Parks and National Landscapes (formerly Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty) across Wales.
We will also be promoting the activities of Oriel Môn, Anglesey Archives, Teulu Môn and a host of activities offered by the county’s libraries. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting - staff will be available to offer advice and guidance.
We’re also delighted to welcome back volunteers from the island’s community radio station, MônFM, who will be broadcasting from outside our stand.
Sports events and craft workshops will be held outside our marquee and staff from the Housing Service will also be providing advice and support to council tenants. Our Môn Actif leisure team will also be hosting the showground’s sports area with their partners again this year.
The Anglesey Dementia Hub - Age Friendly stand (D12) will be located next door to the council marquee; where various partners will be providing advice and information about ageing well.
The Leader of the County Council, Councillor Gary Pritchard, said, “A wide range of our services will be present on the council’s stand during both days of the show. Once again, our presence will be an opportunity to demonstrate how we are working on behalf of local residents and communities.
“The Council Plan is crucial as we work on behalf of Anglesey. We continue to provide an extensive range of quality services on behalf of the public - despite facing increasing financial challenges. At its core is our desire to continue to work with residents and our partners to ensure the best possible services, improve the quality of life for all and create opportunities for future generations.”
“We look forward to attending the show, which is without doubt, one of the biggest events in the Anglesey calendar, and wish the organisers, those competing or those with trade stands all the best over the two days.”
Isle of Anglesey County Council Chief Executive, Dylan J Williams, added, “As a county council, we’re pleased to be back at the Show once again this year, supporting this special event. The Anglesey County Show raises the island’s profile, supports the agricultural community and wider economy.”
“I can think of no better stage than the Anglesey Show to tell residents and visitors about our aspirations for the island and its communities.”
Ends 8 August 2025
Notes to editors
The vision of the Council Plan 2023 to 2028 is to ‘create an Anglesey that is healthy and prosperous where people can thrive.’
The six key priorities of the Council Plan are:
- The Welsh Language: increasing opportunities to learn and use the language
- Social Care and Wellbeing: providing the right support at the right time
- Education: ensuring an effective provision for today and for future generations
- Housing: ensuring that everyone has the right to call somewhere home
- Economy: promoting opportunities to develop the island’s economy
- Climate Change: responding to the crisis, tackling change and working towards becoming a net zero organisation by 2030
Its six main objectives reflect the key areas residents think the council should be focusing its efforts on. They were developed using the views of local people, partners, political priorities and the Welsh Government’s Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act.
It is underpinned by the organisation’s core values, which will be used to develop and guide its vision, strategic plans and services into the future.
