The Gêm Project helps young people access gaming industry
The Gêm Project, led by Media Academy Cymru (MAC), aims to improve grassroots access to professional roles in the gaming and animation sectors. Of the 30 students who completed the pilot, 80 per cent went on to further education courses in South Wales, four are now studying gaming-related subjects at university, and one is working as a game tester for a leading Welsh developer. Jack Sargeant, culture minister, said: "The importance of the creative industries to Wales is clear – it's about jobs, culture and our identity. "Meeting the animation students at MAC was inspiring – these young people are incredibly talented and passionate about their craft. "Programmes like the Animeiddio Project are exactly what we need to ensure our creative sector reflects all of Wales, providing pathways for diverse talent to thrive." The Gêm Project received more than £140,000 from the Welsh Government through the Creative Wales Skills Fund. Following its success, MAC launched the Animeiddio Project, an animation pilot scheme funded by a second round of Creative Skills funding. The animation course gives young people the chance to showcase their work at the Cardiff Animation Festival and take part in regular industry events. AJ, 20, a current student, said: "I had agoraphobia for a long time so I couldn't leave the house. "This is my first year back and everybody is so understanding. "It's the best thing that could possibly have happened." The Creative Skills Fund supports training and development across music, screen, games, animation, and immersive tech. Across two funding rounds, 34 projects have been backed with a total investment of £3 million. A highlight report from the first funding round shows that more than 27,000 individuals and 300 companies have benefited so far.

Meghan launched her As Ever Napa Valley Rose 2023, described as having 'soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish', on Tuesday. The beverage, priced at more than £65 for a minimum three-bottle order, had only appeared to be available for US customers to buy, with shipping addresses limited to America.

In a post on Instagram, the duchess' As Ever brand said: 'It's here! Raise a glass to the newest addition to the As ever family. Our beautiful Napa Valley rose is now available'. A short clip showed the wine being poured into a glass, with accompanying sound. The pale pink wine, in a clear bottle with a white gold-rimmed label, was launched on a dedicated where an over-21 birth date must be inputted to enter and where the drink was described as: 'A delicately balanced rose with soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish.' The site adds: 'Reminiscent of the finest Provencal styles, it's crisp, pale in color, and effortlessly elegant – crafted for slow afternoons and golden-hour gatherings. 'This rose captures the essence of sun-drenched outdoor moments through its thoughtfully crafted blend.' A post shared by @aseverofficial The wine was not available to buy in orders of less than three bottles. Three bottles cost 90 US dollars (£65.64), six bottles cost 159 dollars (£115.97) including a 12% discount, and 12 bottles are priced at 300 dollars (£218.81) including a 17% discount.

According to the Drink Aware charity, most wines have an ABV of around 11-14%. Meghan added apricot jam to her collection in June after restocking her online store, with items selling out for a second time in a row. A post shared by @aseverofficial The duchess was shown drinking rose during the last episode of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan earlier this year when she offered chef Alice Waters a glass of wine. 'Would you like a glass of rose while we're cooking?' the duchess said, pouring from a bottle which does not appear to be As Ever wine, having a different label. Meghan added as she drank: 'Might be the best sip of wine I've ever had.' Napa Valley wine country is in northern California, around 50 miles from San Francisco.
