A YOUNG Ambassador for Sport Pembrokeshire has secured a place on a prestigious panel influencing sport for young people across Wales. Alannah, who is now at Pembrokeshire College, said: “I am really excited to have been appointed to the YA steering panel and can’t wait for the first meeting and to get involved”.

Alannah Heasman has been selected as part of a Sport Wales Young Ambassador National steering panel. This provides a voice on matters that affect young people and involves them in decision making and designing and delivering activities.

Alannah has been a Young Ambassador in Haverfordwest High since Year 8 and has completed DRIVE, Silver and Gold Young Ambassador training.

Dan Bellis of Sport Pembrokeshire said Alannah has been an outstanding role model in both school and community settings and assisting with clubs, talking to younger students about her own ambassador journey and helping with festivals, tournaments, multi sport sessions and school holiday provision.

“We at Sport Pembrokeshire are delighted for Alannah. She has been an outstanding Young Ambassador and role model at Haverfordwest High and in the wider community and I have no doubt she will be a fantastic addition to this year’s National steering group.”
