Winner – Jayne Cox

We are delighted to award Jayne with our Volunteer of the year award 2023. Jayne always goes above and beyond and shows huge commitment to her voluntary role at Celtic Tri. Jayne takes it upon herself to organise the Juniors. No one ever has to ask her to do anything. For a number of years now, Jayne has coordinated the Junior cross country section. Prior to races, she sends out all of the race information. On race day, Jayne is one of the first to arrive and last to leave. She sets up the club HQ, collects all the numbers, organises the course recce and always carries spare kit just in case they are needed. Jayne has also introduced initiatives such as the Spikes Swap Shop, where juniors who have outgrown their spikes can recycle them and pass them onto the next round of athletes. Jayne’s dedication to the club is admirable!

"This award is greatly deserved. Congratulations Jayne, you are a credit to your club and the wider community!" - Amy Jenner, Head of Development
