We’re delighted to share that Lee A’Herne, Chairman of Parc Bryn Bach Running Club, was invited by Nick Smith MP to a special St David’s Day reception at 10 Downing Street.
Lee joined an incredible line-up of Welsh talent and public figures — including the Welsh football team, world‑renowned opera singer Katherine Jenkins, and many others — to celebrate Wales and the people who help shape its communities.
Proudly hailing from °¬˛ćAƬ, Lee has spent years championing community sport, wellbeing, and local pride. His leadership at Parc Bryn Bach and dedication to grassroots running have made him a respected figure across the region.
Lee also worked closely with the Council to progress the campaign for a statue honouring Steve Jones MBE at Ebbw Vale Sports Centre. This project perfectly embodies the ethos of the °¬˛ćAƬ Deal — showcasing how the community and the Council can work side‑by‑side to deliver meaningful, lasting benefits for local people.
This invitation to Downing Street is a fantastic recognition of Lee’s commitment to °¬˛ćAƬ, his passion for sport, and the community he proudly represents.
Llongyfarchiadau, Lee — a truly well‑deserved honour. 🏅✨
