The idea of a charity shoot being held in Llansawel started before the formation of the club.  In 2002, a local charity namely “Marlais Trust” was looking for ways to raise funds.  It was suggested that we could perhaps run a clay pigeon shoot for this purpose.  In a nutshell this was arranged and something like £2,000 was raised.

It was because of the success of this charity shoot, that Clwb Saethu Clai Llansawel was formed.  Written into the constitution of the club is that the July shoot each year will be a charity shoot.

Since the formation of the club, £12,762 has been raised for a number of worthy causes, including £1,801:36p for Ty Hafan and £2,777:08 for the Special Needs Baby Unit at Glangwili Hospital and the Adlerian Society of Wales.  The chosen charity for 2011 is Wales Air Ambulance
