Almost 100 people were treated at a new medical and welfare facility introduced as part of safety measures during the Royal Welsh Show week.

The Builth Wells Help Point, based at the Strand Hall, included an Alcohol Recovery Unit staffed by St John Cymru, Dyfed-Powys Police, Powys County Council Youth Workers and the voluntary Street Pastors.

From Saturday, July 20, to Thursday, July 25, a total of 93 patients were cared by the Builth Wells Safety Group.

Five of those people were taken to hospital for further treatment.

The group of volunteers offered help and emotional support, counselling and signposting to Royal Welsh Show revellers in the town centre.

The Street Pastors assisted 224 people while the Powys Youth Workers helped 341 young people.

Jess, from Powys County Council Youth Workers, said on social media that it was a "real eye opener" and that most issues were related to "alcohol with some drug use".

"Throughout the night I saw people being treated with kindness by strangers - one girl in particular will be very thankful this morning for a lovely group of girls helping her out," she said.

Jess praised Dyfed-Powys Police, Street Pastors, St John's Cymru and security guards for doing an "awesome job".

Dr Greg Thomas, of Builth Wells Safety Group, said: "Thank you to all my colleagues and the partners involved in the Builth Wells Event Safety Group. So many people have given up their time to ensure that those visiting our town have have a safe and enjoyable week.

"I'm so proud of everything that we have achieved, it could not have been done without such a dedicated team of people, and I am so grateful to the whole team. It just goes to show what can be achieved when everyone works together with a shared goal."

The safety measures were introduced following the tragic death of Powys young farmer James Corfield at the Royal Welsh Show in 2017.
