These activities have serious negative aspects on the community and the wildlife of Ceibwr Bay, which is in an SSSI and a Marine Conservation Area. Cymdeithas Trewyddel, in pursuit of its object of the wellbeing of the residents, works with the National Trust, Pembrokeshire Coastal Forum, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, and other relevant bodies to seek better protection of the Ceibwr Bay area. ## **The next 12 months** We will continue our programme of activities that enliven the local community and provide a hub for social life. We will continue to monitor and seek solutions to the overuse of the Ceibwr Bay area. ## **Financial report 2024-25** Total income for the year was 10689.70, and expenditure £11206.71.
