The Bull Inn: Llannerchymedd’s Fundraising Powerhouse

Introduction

The Bull Inn in Llannerchymedd has been crowned Wales' Community Fundraising Hero at the PubAid Community Pub Hero Awards 2026. Nominated by Llinos Medi MP, the pub was brought back to life by a local family and has become a fundraising powerhouse for Anglesey.

What they did

The pub’s annual sheep shearing event, Cneifio Cylch, is known across Anglesey. Shearers compete to be fastest, families enjoy a day out, and an auction rounds things off. Last year’s event supported Wales Air Ambulance, Hope House Children’s Hospice, the Heulwen cancer treatment unit and Plas Crigyll dementia day care centre.

The family behind the pub, including Rob Williams, regularly fundraise for the local football club and help look after its grounds. The club’s youth section has grown, and its girls’ section is one of the strongest on the island. Quizzes, bingo and Welsh concerts support the Urdd Eisteddfod, the local school and nursery, and other groups.

The community reaction

The pub also stands with its community in times of remembrance, hosting a collection in memory of a young local man for Wales Air Ambulance. As one local put it: “Tafarn gymunedol go iawn… Yn barod pob tro i fynd y filltir ychwanegol i helpu!” (“A proper community pub… Always ready to go the extra mile to help!”)

Impact

The Bull Inn has supported a wide range of local and national causes, while returning a vital meeting place to village life.

Summary

The Bull Inn shows what can happen when a community pub is brought back to life. It has become the centre of Llannerchymedd and a powerful force for good across Anglesey.
