The chairwoman of the new Mid Wales Sports Partnership has been revealed as Sherrie Woolf.

This partnership spans Powys and Ceredigion.

Ms Woolf assumes responsibility for moulding the future of sport and physical activity across these regions.

She said: "As somebody who lives with long-term health conditions, I know first-hand of some of the mental and physical barriers to physical activity but I’m keen to work with others and do things differently in order that we can get people moving more often.”

Consequently, she is expected to foster collaboration across the public, private, and third sectors to enable more people to enjoy physical activity regularly.

She specified: "We all know that our health is our most valuable asset and it’s time to normalise prioritising it. In my new role, I am committed to fostering collaboration across the public, private, and third sectors.”

As a part of her duties, Ms Woolf, who resides in Brecon, is tasked with recruiting additional directors to the newly established board.

This also includes a managing director for the Mid Wales Sports Partnership.

Besides her role in the new partnership, she is a self-employed accountant and a non-executive director for various organisations including the Brecon Beacons Tourism Association.

Sport Partnerships have gained traction across Wales with Mid Wales being the third region to have established one.

Sport Wales CEO, Brian Davies said: "Sport Partnerships are being created across Wales to transform the way that sport is planned, developed and delivered within our communities to better meet the needs of the individuals living within them."

He added that Sport Wales is "delighted that Sherrie has been appointed as chair of the Mid Wales Sport Partnership and we look forward to working with her to ensure that everyone in Mid Wales has the opportunity of a lifelong enjoyment of sport."
