A local school has been given balance bikes to help with its cycling education programme.
Ysgol Blaenau received these bikes as part of an initiative sponsored by Dj Davies Fuels to promote physical activity, road safety, and environmental awareness among students.
The sponsorship package includes unique balance bikes emblazoned with the DJ Davies Fuels logo on one side and Ysgol Blaenau's name and logo on the other.
The bikes also come with helmets, all tailored to the needs of young learners.
The cycling education programme at Ysgol Blaenau aims to teach students fundamental skills required for safe cycling, such as balance and coordination.
The school's principle emphasis on fostering an active and healthy lifestyle amongst its pupils is seen as the driving force behind this new curriculum feature.
The sponsorship is part of a larger initiative by Cycle Champs, a company dedicated to promoting cycling education and safety in schools.
The company introduced the sponsorship opportunity to DJ Davies Fuels, who supported the venture, investing in children's wellbeing and community development.

Stephanie Davies, spokesperson for DJ Davies Fuels, said: "At DJ Davies Fuels, we believe in supporting our local communities and investing in the future of our children.
"Sponsoring Ysgol Blaenau with balance bikes is a wonderful way to encourage physical fitness and road safety from a young age.
"We are proud to see our logo on these bikes, representing our commitment to the wellbeing of our community."
In addition to safety, these customised bikes and helmets will also help instil a sense of ownership and pride among the students, amplifying school spirit and unity.
The initiative promptly got the backing of Ysgol Blaenau's headteacher, Mrs Jenkins, expressing her gratitude for the generous donation.
Mrs Jenkins said: "The balance bikes and helmets will make a significant difference in our cycling education programme, providing our students with the tools they need to learn and grow.
"This sponsorship not only promotes physical activity but also teaches important lessons in safety and environmental stewardship."
Building on the success of DJ Davies Fuels' sponsorship, Cycle Champs invites other businesses to come forward and support community initiatives such as this one.
Interested companies can contact Christian at Cycle Champs for more information on contributing towards a healthier, safer, and more active future for our children.
