Sophie collected the first award of the night just over one year ago, and has had a wonderful year since.

She has continued her eco work within the school, helping re-set up a regular club after Covid restricted them. She has also implemented new ideas and routines to schools day to day life whilst helping them aim to be a plastic free school. Sophie is also helping her aunt develop and make a totally locally grown company making beauty products called grow calm.

Within her riding she has represented Wales in 2022 and is campaigning for team wales again this year with her new pony Freckles.
