Involvement by Llandovery College and its pupils in the life of its local community in the Llandovery area is longstanding. At the request of the Trustees, the College regularly monitors the activities it undertakes which deliver public benefit over and above its obligations to pupils, parents and staff. Through community usage of College facilities, Llandovery College shows the wide variety of ways that it supports the social, cultural and sporting life in its area.
