Winner – Andrea Griffiths (Swansea Vale Tri)

We are delighted to award Andrea with our volunteer of the year award 2022. Andrea shows huge commitment to her voluntary role at Swansea Vale, she’s passionate about helping the new athletes who come into the club and help them begin their triathlon journey. What sets Andrea apart is someone who will go that extra mile, extra shout out and extra message on the day of the race to wish you luck and see how you got on. Swansea Vale is incredibly lucky of the time she gives to support and she has encouraged so much positivity in the club. She is always there to offer advice.
